How do I remove this without hurting my paint???

Use Orange Clean or Dawn. Just remember to use an all cotton towel or something really soft so you dont scratch your paint while rubbing it off. You could try a wax cleaner or Bug and Tar remover also.

Windex also does a good job of pulling the glue off with a soft cloth and a little rubbing. Make sure you wax the area after you are done.

I think wd-40 should remove the reidue, or maybe simple green.

Wow man your car looks sick in that photo! I use the stuff called 'Prep All' you can find it at Autozone just be sure to lay on the wax after you're done. 'cause it WILL strip the wax.

I use Bug & Tar Remover - that works great. Just make sure you rewash that area and rewax.

I have thsi 3m bug , tar, everythign remover that's safe on paint and clearcaot. It even disolved some buble gum stuck on my friends door, works great. I also used it to remove tar from my sound dampening material. It does hower dulls yoru clear coat, but the bottle says to get some other 3m product to replenish it. I got it at advance auto parts.
