Heat them up with a hair drier then they just peel off!

Then you can clean the area up with a brillo pad and brake fluid!!!!!!!!!!

But a hair drier really does work.

White spirit is a lot less harsh than brake cleaner. Softens the glue and allows you to clean it all off gentley.

Have you tried Iso Propyl Alcohol available from any chemists, will remove most glue residue and oily marks, Benzine is the next step up but a bit more harsh than IPA.
