Goo gone is what i always use and if that doesn't and its extreme you could always try buffing with a pc or with wet sanding.

yea but get the big bottle there will be a lot of rubbing so bring an ice bucket for your elbow and you know warm it up a little cause its gonna be a biatch also some of those icy hot patches as well hehe

but it got spray paint off my car when some A$$ decided to draw decals on it

Stoner's Tarminator is a great product for removing that kind of stuff.
You could also soak a rag or paper towel with WD40, tape it to the area and leave it sit for about an hour or so, and the stuff should wipe right off. That works great for sticker residue and adhesives.
