Goo gone will do it, or wd40. Use a soft rag and keep turning it so the sticky residue goes on to the rag.

That reminds me - when I bought my 93 Cobra from the dealer (new), guess what the dealership put on the car? Pinstriping. I was horrified.

Use a rub off wheel. It's basically like a big eraser that goes on the end of a drill. Worked for me
Nice car BTW

og color repainted. about 4 years old, but has always been garaged. still very clean & glossy (even the trim was sprayed black & clear coated). no dings at all!
