Cleaning alkyd painted surfaces

I work in a car company. During mirror fixing we use soap solution for flux fixing. This creates a lot of stains on the finished painted surface. I tried to remove the stains with Rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol) that didn't work effectively. Can you suggest what is the right cleansing agent to remove stains , finger prints from Alkyd finished painted surface
