Aircraft striper! Autozone advance auto or most any autoparts store has it! You will need a brush to apply it though. Its like a gel almost and it is bad stuff. You will need to wear rubber gloves and i recomend safety glasses too.i would also have the tires dismounted so you dont ruin them.

3M Gasket Remover.  It will take anything off.  Don't get it on your paint.

A problem here is when you take that paint off the clearcoat comes off to which looks awful.
