Fuel stains

Anyone got any tips for getting the blue dye stains off of new paint finish.

The drain sump tap on my PA28 was dripping, 100LL (with the blue dye) ended up on the wheel spat/faring - washed it off once I saw it but there are residual stains.

The worst part is on yellow stripes which now have green sections where the dye seems to have seeped into the yellow.

On the mainly white parts, I am thinking some white spirit or T-Cut may work but have had suggestions of use of tomato ketchup to remove it!

Any home known remedies or suggestions will be gratefully received.
