S&S plate touch up?

Hi Diane,
               If it is tape residue, varsol will usually work.   Let it soak
to get those crystals soft, it will then rub off with out hurting the finish. 
So it does not run all over the place, soak a rag and lay it on the trouble
spot for about 10minutes.
Varsol is sold in paint stores, some times as paint thinner.
Regards Roger
