Well everybody already mentioned my tricks.
  Waterless hand cleaner (with no grit in it) or Murphys to start.
Then alcohol. Then paint thinner. Then steel wool with paint thinner.
Depending on if its working. hahahah

If you have to "cut" it a little to get the look you want, and its flat, 
it can be polished back out. Pumice and water followed by rottenstone 
and oil.
  Good wax last of course.

   There is only so far I am willing to go before the 
shellac/varnish/lacquer brush gets loose.
    yours scott
