I use off the shelf label remover but I expect Acetone would work. I would try this on an inconspicuous area first though, just in case.  :daumenhoch:

Brake cleaner is effectively thinners, be careful you do not remove / soften the paint underneath. Panel wipe /degreaser for car bodywork does the job  :daumenhoch:

Methylated spirit from home bargains, also use it on cars to remove badge residue.

Our Maud's Nail Varnish Remover is outstanding for this.  :daumenhoch:

Cheapest stuff you can find in boots will do the trick.  ;)
