Use a solvent like WD40 or CRC. Goo gone is another.

A soft towel, terry cloth or micro fiber.
The solvent will make easy work of it. Then wax it when done.

Looks like you're going to end up with blisters..........






On your thumbs. Roll most of it off by hand, use the WD 40 to get the rest. Take your time, enjoy!

I took a few days to get my moldings off. Just did a little when I could. It was worth it. Now I'm slowly working on the badging. I rolled the big sticky stuff. Then used a clay bar to get some more off, then the fine stuff that was being stubborn I used that goo gone stuff. Worked pretty good, but time consuming. Then clayed it again to get all the goo gone residue that might be left behind, then a couple coats of Zano...
