Warm it with a hairdryer and rub it off with your thumb.

Or spray WD40 into it to soften/remove it, and then brake cleaner to get rid of the remaining soft gummy residue.

Take it you're aware of the MOT issue with plates like that?

try meth or 3m cleaner spray or any citrus based cleaner should do the trick.

Do a google search for a product called "speedy 500" it's a glue dissolving product that's used for your exact problem- Removing solvents/grease/glues/silicon etc. I'd bet Halfrauds would sell it.
