I just rub with my finger then wax.
You can use goo gone or something like that. 3M also makes an adhesive remover.

I have used the aerosol bumper sticker/adhesive remover to remove those annoying dealership stickers from the paint with excellent results. I believe that I got it from advance auto parts or from meijer or someplace like that. I think it is pretty easy to find. I was careful to clean and re-wax those areas where I had used the remover.

3M bug, tar and adhesive remover. Walmart carries it, along with most auto part stores. I used it to remove the pinstripes.

I just removed the 318ti emblem two weeks ago. I scratched the tape off with my fingernail, and the rest I just wiped with a wet paper towel and liquid soap.

Heatgun or a hairdryer. If you use the heatgun be very very careful with it,it will take the pain off of your car if your not safe.
