You can use nail polish remover (acetone) and a bit of elbow grease. What i did was wet a cloth with the nail polish remover worked it into the glue then rubbed realy hard and it does come off slowly. REMEMBER- dont leave the polish on there for too long as it will eat the paint work, its a bugger that stuff.

The pro's use a rubber eraser called a caramac wheel that you use with a hand drill, it rubs off the tape and glue but does'nt mess the paintwork up, for home diy i would use white spirit and a cloth and an old credit card, taking care and a little elbow grease, then polish Ant!
