pour some nail varnish remover on it, let it soak in a bit, then it should just come off with your fingernail
ive done a new autoart cars like that and not had any problems

Good job! That's all I've got.

Do you also use that to clear indicator lenses? I've also heard you can use brake fluid to do it?
