Goo Gone will work, but Its not good for your paint. Best thing is to use a polish or cleaning wax, it should get it off with little effort.

Go to an auto body supply store and get a glue eraser. They sell them really cheap and they will take the glue right off the car. Just put it in a drill and start erasing.
