Denatured Alcohol or this stuff called Xlol Xylene.... however if you use Xlol Xylene I would put a drop cloth over all plastics because it might eat them.

Go with the EtOH, not the xylene. It's less expensive as well. If that doesn't do the trick try a touch of mineral spirits. It has a different solvent characteristic. You might also try posting this over in the car care section. Those boys know all the tricks.

Professional tinters use "Goo Gone". Also professional window painters use the product. Try it.
