Best way is to find yourself a 'caramel wheel' or 'eraser wheel'. You use it as a drill bit and it rubs the sikaflex (the black glue stuff) off without damaging the paint.. Or you can go the long way and use wax and grease remover and a strong hair dryer or hot glue gun to heat it while rubbing it with the w&g remover.

If there's another way I don't know it. I couldn't find a caramel wheel at any auto shop so I bought one on ebay.

I agree 100 % i used this on my vs ute it worked a treat. i picked mine up for about 10 bucks, but i went through 2. then just touched up the little marks the wheel left with white spray yo cant even tell.
