I find turpentine useful for softening the adhesive on masking tape so that it can be removed. It doesn't harm most finishes but it would be wise to check first.
If you don't want to risk turpentine, use Windex or glass cleaner with a bit of ammonia in it. That stuff will eat smoker's tar off of painted finishes, but be prepared with an old rag and a bit of elbow work to get the gummy bits off.

Masking tape is a PITA to remove unless it's been applied within the last day or so.
