I found the best way to get that sort of stuff off was heat and a scraper (not necessarily a good idea if you want to keep the paint that's under it) to get all the thick stuff off then a rag soaked in gun cleaner to get the rest.

Looks like you have a pretty good finish on those doors mate. Did you take off the door rubbers though?
