You can also try goo-gone on the adhesive and also 3M makes an adhesive cleaner that you can pickup at certain hardware stores.

Alcohol can damage. I wouldn't try using WD-40 or mineral spirits either. Goo gone should be ok.

alcohol or mineral spirits aren't the best idea(at leats I wouldn't use them). Goo-gone can damage the paint depending ont the brand.

WD-40 is ok I used it to debadges my last car. With any of these things just don't leave it sitting on the paint wash it after.

I found that just heating the residue with a hair dryer and running your fingers over it back-and-forth was far more effective in removing it than either goo-gone or wd40.

That's what I was getting at in my original post.

I have used odorless mineral spirits for years and have never had a problem with it. After using it, I rinse off the area and put a coat of wax...
