A while back I posted that I had used Monokote trim to cover some of

it wouldn't be a pain, but the 3M General Adhesive Cleaner doesn't do

Oh and I forgot. "Goo Gone" citrus based cleaner will probably knock
this straight off. Maybe followed by a clean wipe of 3M cleaner,
acetone or toluene, etc. I've used Goo Gone to take off residue of
misapplied stripes similar to Monokote.
