I'm surprised at how tenacious your labels are.  The only thing I might 

suggest is something like Un-Do or similar label/price tag remover, 

although I have my doubts.  Good luck. Please post if you find something 

that works.

 Help needed--any suggestions?

I'm assuming it is trichloroethane. I'm not surprised that it did the 

job.  What did it do to the finish on your panel?

You do need to have a substantial paint job when using it....

I use it for loads of stuff, always have a tin handy for degreasing but as you say it does melt stuff...
