3m adhesive remover- its a spray and works like a charm and made exactly for this and will not damage the paint. automotive parts store should have it, if not ebay has it. good luck!

yup, I had to let it soak about 24 hours, then it came off in a couple minutes, but whatever new adhesive strips they use now is a b1tch...
