Whats the best method of removing residue?
So i just removed my mugen spoiler and it was on the car with double side tape.
Now i have ALOT of that gooey stuff on the paint. How do i remove that without paint damage?

Yes but those will cause haziness in the paint. Ill try wd40 but goo gone and goof off arent safe for clearcoat.

lotsa choices...
my fav is wd-40 - be careful not to get it under any badges.
i would likely get the stuff off with wd-40 (takes several tries), then inspect. if any "ridges" left, then clay. if not, but the color isnt right, you could try a light polish. there is some chance that you will have sunbleach in the paint- slightly different color paint...
and anything that will remove glue will remove your wax, so a rewash and wax will be needed.

I still need to remove the remaining gook along the edges of where the new car wrap was. After failing with clay and a light hand polish/all in one (Werkstatt Prime), I'm going to try the 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, which says it's safe for automotive finishes. It should be available at Napa or Carquest stores, otherwise it's reasonably priced direct from 3M (only $2.50 shipping to where I live).
3M eStore Adhesive Cleaner
Comes in either a 1 qt tin or 15oz aerosol. Not sure yet which will be easier to work with for my application.

Goo Gone works fine. Just make sure to wipe off the residue while it's still wet with a paper towel (or some other surface that won't simply spread the adhesive) and to wash the spot thoroughly afterwards.
