It's just a glue of some sort but is damned near everywhere. I'm respraying the car so am not too fussed about scratching it up somewhat.

Hi,
Xylene and GlueRid (Bunnings) have been mentioned in the past as well, along with elbow grease:thumb

I have found that turps works better than thinners as thinners tends to evaporate too quickly. Dab turps on liberally with a chux or other cloth a few times and leave for a couple of minutes, then rub off with cloth. After soaking it tends to roll up into balls relatively easily. I find that the problem with using power tools is that the glue tends to melt and smear every where rather than coming off.
