dental floss, then a little laquer thinner to get the glue off. finish with a good mild rubbing compound and wax.

I would suggest Bug Remover since that is designed for use on cars.
You can also use Detailing Clay. This stuff works like magic for removing bonded contaminants, and even paint overspray.

Be sure to wash and wax the cleaned area, since the Bug Remover and/or Clay Bar will remove wax.
