Get the shop next door to sort it by getting the painters back.

On the basis that you are going to ignore my advice, do you know what kind of base the paint has? Water, oil, etc.?

The Pink Stuff Paste, a pound a tub. I use it on a scouring pad and works wonders. Try a test patch to see how it comes up, I think you will be astonished. 😉

Try a test piece first. If the sign is acrylic, then Pink Stuff could scratch. There is no coming back from that.
We also have a bottle of white spirit on the van. Use with a soft cloth with light pressure rather than a paper towel.
