Don't ask how it happened, but I ended up with duct tape on the LS. The tape backing is gone, but a good deal of the adhesive is still there. What is the best way to get the adhesive off without taking off paint??
Duct Tape on Paint

Alright, if it hasn't been there for very long you can get the majority of it off by taking a fresh piece of duct tape, folding it backwards and use the sticky side to pull off the sticky stuff on your paint. Next, you use WD40 to break up the sticky residue and then wipe it off. Don't do this in the sun or when the paint is very hot. Give it a try. Good luck!

Most any kind of solvent should work to remove the adhesive. Be extremely careful because some solvents will remove the clearcoat if you use too much!
My personal fave for removing tar and other sticky contamination is Oil Flow Safety Solvent, but it is hard to find.

Auto part stores also sell 3M Adhesive Remover, which is also good and is easier to find.
