Remember when I stripped all the wax off my car and then buffed it. That's pretty much your only bet on getting rid of the stickey marks. I wouldn't recommend using Rubbing Alchol you may rub the paint off the car. If rubbing alchol can remove super glue imgine what damage it can do to paint. The way I stripped my car and removed some small scratches out of yours is your best bet. I would recommend being very careful on how long you hold the buffer in one place with that abrassive compound. Let me know and I'll give you further instructions in an e-mail.

I like GOO-GONE I have used it on small spots of my car and it has never done anything to my paint or finish.... it's just citric acid.

Power blow dryer and some type of citric compound that's non abbrasive. Any auto store carries the stuff just can't remember the name.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my pin stripes... I was worried about the paint being a differant color under the stripes. I had this car in FL for a long time, then El Paso, so I hope it didn't fade.
