Like othersbhave stated use vegetable oil first and rinse off.

If that does not work use the automotive formula of goo gone. Apply it over the adhesive and let it sit for a bit. Afterwards, instead of trying to wipenit off and smearing it just sort of push it onto itself for easy removal.

I've been using the Turtle Wax label remover. It works amazing but does strip the wax or sealant. Just need to reapply. Will take off rubber on the bumper in one or two swipes.

It has been a number of days, which one did you go for in the end?

If you are still deciding, I have had nothing but wonderful success with 3M adhesive remover for exterior/interior of car and home. Claybar...if you plan to claybar and wax/sealant the car might as well just do that...took me about 5-6 hours to detail car myself by hand T.T if you have a buffer/polisher might be much quicker and cleaner!
