What's the best way to remove 3M tape?

Hey guys!

I'm swapping out my painted splitters for CF splitters and would like to know what's the best way to remove the 3M tape on the existing splitter and off the car, so I can install the new CF splitter with new 3M tape.

Thanks guys!
Scott

do you mean the double sided tape?

if so, or any tape really, go for some goo gone or 3m adhesive remover. let it sit there for a few minutes and it should come off really easily

Yes, the double sided 3M tape.

Thanks! I'll give that a try!

Hair dryer, (to soften it up so it comes off) and some sap remover/polish usually does the trick as well
