Default Side trim removal

Hey,
What is everyone using to remove the adhesive from the trim that runs down the side of the Jeep. I pulled mine off and I need to clean all the old adhesive residue.

I looked it uo the other night. That is exactly what I was looking for. Use on before, but never knew what it was called. These things are awesome. Thanks.

I use that and a plastic razor blade,Yeah it sounds crazy they do make a plastic razor blade and it won't dig in the paint like a real one.

I used lacquer thinner to soften it up, and then a plastic scraper to get the bulk of it off. To be fair though, I am getting ready to paint, so I'm not worried too much about the existing condition of my 20 year old paint job.
