Uli,
I have found acetone will attack most paints. I use it on gel coat sparingly, but try to use less aggressive solvents if posible. I use the 95% "rubbing" alcohol for most daily wing tape clean up. Works well and and dries clean without an oily feel. Also, see I fat fingered the "peel and stick" tile.
Good luck,

Tim


3M Prep-sol. Works well and doesn't attack the paint like acetone. You do have to wipe it dry after application though.
