Removing sticker residue from plastic?
Mr Nagisakumitsodubongo had put some carbon fibre look sticker stuff all over the interior of my RX7 
After a satisfying session ripping it all off it has left a thick, mega strong dull sticky layer over the surface (not the big thick lumps type more of a thin fogging over the entire surface).
Whereas white spirit removed the rest of the glue, it won't touch this stuff - even with a scourer! I the thought i'd give nail varnish remover a try, which with a lot of scrubbing does get it off very slowly leaving the nice shiny plastic (used an entire kitchen roll to do a tiny area) but I think it has eaten some of the plastic too
Please please please help me get the full enjoyment out of my cheap Japanese plastics!

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Do not put tar and glue remover on plastics as it will take the colour away.
I use some stuff called super polish (aerosol polish) which i spray on and leave to soften the glue.
Should be able to find somthing similar at a motor factors.
