Keep doing this for about a minute and it will start to blister. soak the rag again and now with a little rubbing (it is a chemical reaction that takes it off- not elbow grease) PRESTO all gone!
Hint for other uses - some stickers need acetone to dissolve glue on them - others use Naptha (lighter fluid) like the kind stuck to the back of new drinking glasses. When naptha is called for NOTHING in this world will remove besides that.

Well, I gave this method a shot. The label on the 05 anthracite sunvisors is nearly permanent. After using nail poloish remover, goo gone and acetone, I managed to remove most of the passenger side label but I destroyed my driver side visor. The vinyl has puckered so now I'm looking for a replacement. I haven't even made the first payment yet.
