Goo Gone works great.

Why do the work? I would take it back to the dealer and make them take it off. Shouldn't have been left on when delivered...

just my .02

Be carefull about using nail polish remover! Some of them contain acetone which is very harsh stuff. Go with Goo gone or a little bit of WD-40 sprayed onto a soft cloth. If you do take it to the dealer, watch them like a hawk.

Just picked up my '03 TLS-Navi last week and have the same problem.

The GSM told me he would have someone wash and re-polish it next week.

Be Careful!
Unless you're the very trustful type and don't like washing your own car, I'd recommend you take the stuff off yourself. It'll give you a chance to check out the car's exterior and look for any blemishes. Nothing puts scratches on your car quicker than letting someone else wash it!

Just my $.02!
