Try Citrastrip. Lowes or Home depot have it. It kicks ass

i second strypeeze. It works much better than the orange stuff. Brush a coat on, wait ten minutes, and take it off with a metal scraper, have lots of newspaper on hand to scrape it onto. Then repeat the process, until its clean. I finish it off in the house with a scotch brite and dish soap.
 
On a lot of them I have had good luck with goof-off. Just use it outside with plenty of ventilation or you will regret it.

Buy a cheep paint brush and use one of the above. You can get stuff like that any place. Paint it on the metal and let it sit for a few. Come back and scrape it off. You'll need to do it a few times, but it should EASILY come off.
 
Thanks

M.E.K. Is the best I have ever used......

This!! Take a rag and drape it over as much of th CP as you can. Then pour MEK onto the rag completely soaking it. Let the MEK soak for 1 minute or so, lift the rag and use a putty knife to scrape all the adhesive off. Be sure to do this as quickly as possible before the MEK evaporates. I have to post up a video of how quickly this works as it seems allot of people use more time consuming methods. I did an entire Centipede panel in less than 5 minutes last night and all I had left was the residual on the corners. Oh!! Make sure you do this outdoors!!
