floss was a pain in the *** for me... i just used a hair dryer and picked at it... after doin the acura with floss... it was much easier... then used goo-gone to clean up the mess and buffed it too

i dont know about the WD-40 dude, prob expletive up your paint... But use a hair dryer and some dental floss, and dont be rushing through it either, take your time... then use some goo gone to get rid of the adhesive.
