You might try a product called Goo Gone. It works very well but not instantly. Te remove stickers and the like, I tape a couple layer of paper towel over the area and hose it down with goo gone. Keep it wet all day (it doesn't evaporate very quickly). Then work in from the outside edges as the goo gone releases the adhesive.

This stuff works amazingly well to clean up wd 40 stains and other household stains on the inside of a camper.
