you have to "sand" it out with a very very very fine grit pad.

Default There's always Langka, but if it's freshly applied try using a glaze like 3M IHG.

Use the glaze as you would Langka...stretch a single layer of tightly woven 100% cotton cloth (like t-shirt material) over a credit card, apply glaze to the flat surface, and rub that over the paint blob. This is how Langka is applied. I haven't tried using glaze this way, but others here say it works just as well. Certainly worth a try, and it's zero-risk since you know the glaze won't hurt the surrounding paint.
