Removal of Factory \"Clear\" Protectant Tape

Anyone have any tricks or secret recipes for the removal of the factory clear tape on the front fascias and sills that is somewhat paint safe but aids in the removal?

Thanks!

Hair dryer.

So a hair drier and maybe some lacquer thinner or enamel reducer to clean any residue adhesive off sound like the trick?

I left it in the sun for a few hours and it peeled right off. I waxed the area and it looked great.

Mineral Spirits should remove any residue, and it's a lot milder than laquer thinner.

Got it.
Thanks for the "tools" for the toolbox.
and Jeff, you are absolutely right, I forgot about the ole mineral spirits to remove the adhesive sticky stuff.
