Weatherstrip Cement Clean-up

A section of rubber weatherstripping came loose right below the rear window and near the hatch on my 07 MCS. I cemeted it in place with some black 3M weatherstripping cement. My dealer wanted $190 to replace it.

The cement got messy and slopped onto some silver trim. It looks awful. Does anyone know what to use to clean-up the cement?

Thanks.

+1 for the 3M Adhesive Remover + paper towels. Let it absorb into the adhesive then wipe if off.
