Default Removing decal glue from paint

Ok I removed the nasty beige stripe that was on my NBM Z. What is the best way to get rid of the dried glue that is on the paint? Would a car wash do it or do I need something to treat it first? Thanks.

I used 3M adhesive remover that I bought at Pep Boys...you could also use an autobody prep solvent such as Shine On...

3M sounds good since I have to go to pep boys and pick up some coolant. Any special way on applying the 3M?

Not really...I just followed the directions on the can...you just kinda dab it on and let it soak in for a bit and the adhesive will come right off...it can be a little annoying at times because the glue will turn into little gummy ***** as it softens.
