Aircraft remover. Comes in a can and can be picked up at any auto parts store. Some on this forum have said you can get it in aerosol from Wal-Mart, but aerosol is going to be way too messy IMO. You need to wear long sleeves, long pants, gloves and goggles or glasses when you do this. It burns a little when it gets on your skin. I did it in the middle of summer one year with a t-shirt and shorts and it almost ate me alive. Just wipe it on and wipe it off. It will take the paint or clear coat off of anything.

There's another topic about this posted a day or two ago. Here it is:
