Heet (Methyl Alcohol) "Stains" on Paint

Hey guys, it's been a while since I have been active on the forum. This evening, I was trying to finish off some Heet (methyl alcohol) gas treatment I had lying around and I spilled some on my paint. After maybe 20 seconds of the stuff sitting on the panel, I sprayed quick detailer (ONR) on it and wiped it up with a MF towel. In glancing light, I could still see the streaks/stains from where it ran down the quarter panel below the fuel door, so I tried Klasse, water spot remover, synthetic quick detailer, and Megs 105. Unfortunately none of the products removed the "stains" . Any ideas? Thanks a ton.

Most of the products you've cited leave behind 'protection', which is covering / sealing the stain.

Use 1:1 solution isopropyl alcohol / distilled water, apply paint protection once stain is removed

I didnt have either product you suggested, though I thought I had isopropyl. But, you gave me an idea. I tried my wife's nail polish remover, which took the stains right up. I followed that with ONR, Klasse, and finally CG synthetic QD. Problem solved and mission accomplished. Thanks for the help, my beautiful blue baby appreciates it.
