Default New 370 w/ tape markings

Hello all,

Picked up my Z three days ago, and have had my hands all over it since. One thing I'm noticing a lot of is what appears to be tape markings or tape glue residue on the front hood and roof. I can rub some of it off with windex and a paper towel, but to get it all is going to involve either some serious friction or some kind of product that will loosen the glue without damaging the clearcoat.

I think the stuff is from whatever adhesive they use to put those white plastic sheets on the vehicle during shipping from the factory. But to be honest, I can't be sure what the source is. Regardless, has anyone else had this and found a successful way of removing the stubborn stuff without hurting the clearcoat in any way? I'm always afraid to put any chemicals on the paint before I get a few coats of wax on her (only factory wax is on atm), which is why any advice would be welcomed. Can include pics if necessary.

Cheers
