Spray-on adhesive remover on a clean rag works pretty good...

Adhesive remover is probably best but I'd guess that brake cleaner would work as well. It seems to take anything off anything.

Goo gone.

Amazing stuff, you will use it for everything around the house. Even cleans hands pretty well. Best stuff I have ever seen for tree sap.

Lacquer thinner on a rag is what I use.

Amonia...I probably did not spell it right but it will remove everything it also works superwell for removing nicotine residue from the inside of windshields.

I recommend the Goo Gone over the more toxic stuff, especially brake clean. I'm sure brake clean will work, but be very careful with it.

Think I'll stick with the brake clean. I use it daily and haven't had any negative effects (other than the third ******** but the old lady kinda likes that).
