Heat it up very slowly (I used a hair drier) and slowly pull. On a low heat it should come away fairly easily.
Once that's done use some diluted white spirit to remove the goo (you could use a toffee wheel but I wouldn't suggest it). After that just use a little tcut and polish and bob's your uncle
