Try "Goo-gone"

Probably. I think Meguires makes a plastic polish....check an auto parts store that carries their stuff; I'm certain I've seen it.

If it were my car I'd hit it with wax and grease remover....but I wouldn't be as concerned about toasting a light, so I wouldn't advise anyone else to do it.

I would not try goo-gone. I would use acrysol (automotive grade, not the thickner) instead. I've used it on painted surfaces, plastics, metal, etc etc etc. Never once had an issue arise in over 4 years using it.

You can also use Meguirs tec wax. it takes a few passes with wax but it will remove residue from adhesives.

rubbing alcohol and a hairdryer
