I would try......
No specific order, just get your arsenal together along with a chilled beverage of choice. If all of these suggestions fail, you may want to resort to a pneumatic tools with a prep pad like a body shop uses....
- Stoner's Tarminator or Xenit
- Meguiar's Body Solvent
- WD40 - see if it will soften up the glue
- Goo Gone

I haven't used that tar and gum remover. I have and do use goo be-gone. I have used it on clearcoat, leather and vinyl. You need to work very quickly with a tooth brush, and wipe up immediately. Use it in a spot where you can see if it changes the appearance before using it on a noticeable area. you may need to compound and buff, but the stuff gets anything off, including ink on leather and embedded pine sap. which is a real btch here in the northeast.
