Default Removing Adhesive?

What is the best way to remove adhesive off your car paint? I removed my accord and V6 emblems I like the look better more tricked out! I now need to remove the adhesive off of the paint and don't want to hurt the paint. Any help?

Thanks!

I've had success removing most decals and adhesive emblems with a blow drier. Just heat it up, the glue gets warm, and peel it off.

I used mineral spirits, or Acetone.... I forgot which.... but that works real well. No it did not affect the paint....

Go to your local auto parts store you will find somethin...

i've heard that rubbing penut butter on it gets it off. i have yet to try it myself.. the reason they said it works is becuase the oil from the penut butter does somthing that makes the adhesive slide right off.
