Good old plastic eraser (architect erasers work really well too).

Give it a good rub. Worked for me.

This is what i use for just this kind of thing. I works great at removing the residue and dressing up the molding and on the OUTSIDE of the vehicle.

You can use 50/50 mix of Isopropyl Alcohol and water(distilled preferred but not necessary) or use Acryl-Safe cleaner/solvent you can buy this at an auto parts store. Make sure it's safe for plastic/rubber etc don't use prep-sol on rubber. Alternatively, try smooth peanut butter or Avon Skin So Soft. I have even used WD-40 on a rag.
