Help! Adhesive Residue Removal!

Today, I removed the Union Jack roof decal from my Cooper...the middle portion was faded, but the outer portions were vibrant as day one. Anyways, there is a butt-ton of adhesive residue left behind. Can anyone recommend a good adhesive remover that will work well in colder temperatures (below 40 degrees)? I've tried Goo-Gone, to no avail.

Any input that can be offered would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Is it possible to bring the Mini in a garage to warm it up a bit? Ive had some luck flashing a small working area with a heat gun (not close on the surface), while applying some goo-gone to a cloth and working it out.

I'm surprised that Goo-Gone didn't work. I just removed my stripes this past weekend and the residual adhesive was easily removed using Goo-Gone. Perhaps the roof decal has a bit more sticky then stripes.
