It may leave an indentation in the clear even if removed correctly.
I use the 3M rubber "eraser" wheel.

Let it sit in the sun for a few hours and it should peel off. Like topless said if it doesnt peel off a eraser wheel will take it right off

You have to move the eraser wheel. You cant hold it in one spot. Soak it in goo gone, and take the eraser wheel down it at a steady pace. It does take a little common sense.
