I used goop off and it worked great. Then took a buffer to the back and boom....clean and good as new.

if Gel-Coat, Acetone will work well. If paint, don't use Acetone.... You could also try a eraser wheel (just like it sounds, its a giant rubber eraser on a mandrel so you can use it with a drill). You can find them at most automotive paint jobbers (some auto part stores may sell them too). Also try to add a little bit of heat to the mix. A hair dryer should be enuff to soften the glue without hurting the paint/gel. If using a heat gun, be careful too much heat will blister paint and turn Gel Coat Yellow.

You can use WD40 or 3M makes an adhesive remover that'll kick any glues azz....
