This you may not like....

First and formost, try rubbing alcohol to see if it will get the glue off. However, the way that glue works is that it dissolves the plastic... What you may end up having to do is sand off the glue with slightly corse sand paper, and work your way up to polishing grades...

Sorry to hear that man! Real bummer... yes on the sanding, I would try a 600 grit first with plenty of water, then work your way up to 2000. If you've got some of the Tamiya polishing compound, that would be a good way to finish it off - don't worry if you still have a slight haze. Dip it in water first, if the haze dissappears under water, then the cuts are shallow enough to be hidden by a coat of future floor polish. Otherwise, if you still see scratches or haze underwater, then keep rubbing until it dissappears. But remember the last coat of future, it does wonders!
