I've had good success with something called "Goo Gone." It comes in small bottles and is yellowish in color. I've seen them at Home Depot, but I'm sure other places carry them.

Ditto on 3M adhesive remover. Also, you might want to have some "hand polish" (the first step in detailing that contains mild abrasives but no wax) on hand to really finish the job.

Thanks,
Richard

3M adhesive remover is probably your best bet as it's designed to be safe for automotive paint. I think it's even available at Walmart. If you don't have any you can also use WD-40. You'll need some car wash soap or similar to get the WD-40 off.
