Orange peel is also good. They actually sell special sticky label remover which is made from orange peel, smells of orange anyway.

Or the same process as BS stated but with white spirit!

3GGG - had a friend move into a new house and tried a whole bottle of that stuff to remove the sticky labels from the side of the new bath but with no avail - then i asked them if they'd remove the protective film first - oops said they! :D
