First try 3M Adhesive & Wax remover. It's sold at Wal-Mart near me, and most auto stores and auto paint retailers will carry it as well.
Looks like this;

It's safe for your paint. Let us know how it goes. Best of luck!

That's so ironic because when you absolutely, positively need glue to stick....

Try the following:

Nail polish remover
Road tar remover (the one sold by Saturn is the best)

For best result, heat the glue with a hair dryer before applying the remover. Careful not to breathe in the vapor.
