Try petrol, my car was covered with roof tile paint, and I used petrol to remove it, then 3M perfect it, then waxed her----Bob's yer Mum's brother!

Try the 3M general purpose adhesive cleaner - the part number is : 051135-08987 and it should be available at your nearest Audi dealer - it'll dissolve almost anything, but will not harm your clearcoat - it's what Audi use to PDI their cars.

3M Perfect-It II Rubbing Compound Clear Cut

The only thing this has failed to get off was limewater deposits (from a garage) that had eaten into my clearcoat - had to get it professionally removed.
