use wax and grease remover or enamel reducer. another is goo-gone. if you use enamel reducer be sure not to soak it on the paint and have a dry rag to wipe it off with. I do this all the time at the body shop i work at.

Goo Gone rocks, I picked up a bus one time that was entirely covered in duct tape...

Anything with dLimonene will remove adhesive and not rip apart your paint.

WD 40 works also.

Test in an out of the way place..

most solvents can attack your paint.

3m makes a "foam" grinding wheel you can chuck in a high speed drill. It removes decals, pinstrips, glue...lol. It won't harm the paint and I always thought it was kinda neat to use. Most Paint supply Stores should carry them and they are'nt that much.

I have never had to buy one, but have used many

I did'nt see a price listed, but that sounds like a fair price.
