Goof-Off or simular solvent usually works well. Test it in a small out of the way spot first just to make sure it doesn't damage the finish first.

Goo-Gone is my fave. They have it at home depot, and small containers at office supply stores.

Thanks for that. Should have explained, I'm in the UK, so I'm guessing some of those arn't available (WD40 is). Anyone know any general stuff - lighter fuel, maybe. I seem to remember that worked for something like that.

I use WD40 and Goo Gone, in that order.

OK, I'll say it again...
3M makes some stuff called;
General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner
About $10/Qt at automotive paint supply stores.
It can be used on almost any finish and removes tar from your car as well!
Get some and you'll wonder how you've lived this long without it!
