How do I remove glue residue from ship padding?

I noticed today while waxing my brand new e90 that the dealer left a fair amount of glue residue on the front doors where that strip of white foam padding is stuck during shipping.

Any advice on how to remove this myself, without harming the finish? Dealer is 2 hours away!

Thanks!

Goo Gone is good.

Yes, Goo Gone is great. If you don't have that, try lighter fluid (don't light it). 3M also makes adhesive remover that can be used on paint. You might be able to find it at your local hardware store, but I don't know exactly where you live (other than "in your car").

Try bug and tar remover or clay bar.

I have some goo gone. So that's safe on paint or clear coat?

It's safe for a short period of time. Don't let it sit and dry on there. It will remove any wax that you have applied and may dull the clear coat a little but a quick wax after you remove the glue will fix that. Tarminator by Stoner works great and it's more gentle, but will still get the glue off. But goo gone will work in a pinch...
