Acetone and a clean rag - will take care of it in minutes.

You can get it from anywhere that sells fibreglass supplies.

You didn't say it had to be today!

Go to boots and buy some nail varnish remover with the highest content of acetone in it if you urgently need to remove it.

Try solvent cleaner (everbuilds the best), can be found in most diy shops or online.

I work for a sealed glass unit supplier and we use it on our glass to remove stickers, ingrained dirt etc.

Its fantastic stuff but dont get any on your paintwork!
