shrink wrap film residue- how to remove

Hello,

I have high gloss speakers. I needed to shrink wrap the speakers to protect them as my unit needed a spray using chemicals. I place a drop sheet over them as well. I removed the shrink wrap and there are marks or residue on my speakers from the shrink wrap. I used a fine microfibre cloth and some distilled water but the marks are still there. Is this something that will take time to come out with repeated wipe downs?

Any suggestions on how to gently remove the residue from my high gloss speakers? Much appreciated.

theo..its a high gloss piano black finish. They use a water based automotive style type of paint for the finish..maybe this will be of some use and narrow down suggestions..thanks for all the great suggestions so far here..really appreciate it.

How safe would Googone be to use?

As I am currently out of Bestine, I recently used Goo Gone to remove some tape residue. It worked fine, and didn't damage the painted surface I applied it to. Try it, as falconquest suggested, in an inconspicuous location first.

Plain old olive oil on a soft cloth might be a solution. I use it to remove adhesive when I'm out of Goo Gone.. 

Both Goo Gone and vegetable oil are very gentle to most surfaces and you'd probably be fine, but like everyone says, test it somewhere inconspicuous first.
