Tape Remover, please help.

Anybody got good way and product to remove tape off my car paint? I still have the dealership's name taped to my car (you know how they like to advertise on car by sticking the their name on your bumper).

What is best way and product to remove the tape without damaging the paint?

I used clay after I took the badges off my car.

Tardis works a treat.

WD40 would also work.

First wash the car or area around the sticker, then heat the tape up to loosen the adhesive . Do this by holding a heat gun 3-4" away from the paint for a little while (less than 30 sec probably). Once the adhesive heats up you can easily remove the tape/sticker with a plastic razor blade. Any left over adhesive can be removed with 70% IPA, or if it's really stubborn use 3M's specialty adhesive remover.

Heat gun, then for any adhesive leftover you could use rubbing alcohol or wd40.
