I would never use laquer thinner on a vehicle body, It will take the paint off very easy.

I would use something like DAWN dish soap. It's very mild. It should cut through the stickiness. If not, use WD-40 as someone else suggested. I wouldn't use any sort of solvents or thinners within 20 feet of a car.
