What is a good tar and glue remover for under a tenner?

I have a load of old sticky crap left after removing my number plate on my 4th gen.

Standard paint thinners then a polish.

Nice, my font bumper didn't get any new paint so all is good.


Many thanks for all your suggestions.

This stuff is the best I've used, removes the sticky crap left from all types of padded tape and stickers:
