Tried some paint cleaner/wax remover stuff?
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Eucalyptus oil also should do the trick.
Out of curiosity Aaron, what's the stuff shops use - and how much did it set you back for the required amount for the monsoons?

Yep- I'd back that up!
Turps will strip your paint too. Better off using Metho!

Yeah give it a few weeks.
That area of the paint will break down MUCH faster. Yours isn't magic, just because its yours.

A light quick hit with turps won't strip the paint off. Worst case it would mess the clear up and look terrible,
Just to let you all know, there is a bottle called "De-solve it" everyon should have this stuff,

Dont use the tape that you get from Autobarn, Repco, etc.
I got the proper stuff from a signwriter that does bodykits also. Only problem is that you need 1.1mm thick tape which i could not get anywhere.
Had to use 2 layers of 0.8 tape.

Is that the eucalyptus oil stuff? Works wonders for most sticky stuff...A light quick hit with turps won't strip the paint off. Worst case it would mess the clear up and look terrible,
