I finally got around to removing the sticker full of legalese that BMW helpfully placed on the upper left hand side of my windshield, only to discover that there's quite a bit of adhesive residue left. I'd appreciate any tips on how to remove this residue effectively.
Thanks in advance.

Goof off is very effective at removing adhesive residue/

You put WD-40 on your tires to keep brake dust off them?

I mix it with Armor-all to keep my tire tread nice and shiny.

Makes even backing out of the garage exciting.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Nail polish remover works great too.
