   trim as much poss of it with a Stanley knife. try get it real thin. then use some heat source on it (heat gun best bet) get it nice and warm and keep rubbing it with a thick cloth. i find thats best way. gets some blisters on ya thumbs but works lol

    any decent solvent cleaner that won't destroy paint or laquer should do the job
