Default Window Mask Residue HELP!!!

Hey guys, finished up spraying my new lexan cab for my rig. When I pulled the masks off. White axial window masks. I had some sticky residue left behind on two headlight lenses and one spot on the windshield. Anyone have a trick up their sleeves to remove it? Really don't want to mess up this paint job or my lenses. Thanks in advance for any help! It's greatly appreciated!!!

Try a piece of masking or duct tape. Stick it on and pull off repeatedly to try to pull off the crud.

Maybe try a Q-Tip with a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Whatever you do, don't use acetone!

Alcohol or oil should work nicely..
