Remove tape off of paint?

Hey guys i was wondering if you guys knew how to get duck tape off of the paint on my fc. for the most part the tape isnt on there anymore just the sticky stuff left over.
I got it off the windows with a razor but i think i would scrape paint off the body.

At the dealer I worked for we used paint thinner on a rag and lightly go over the spot. Worked very well and the paint wouldnt get damaged.

Had the same problem with the glue left from a well stuck on bumper sticker. Used a blow dryer set on high to remove the sticker. I posted a question about removing the residual glue that simply would not come off. Used one of the suggestions that said WD-40 would work and it did. Had to use some elbow greese and multiple applications but clean and no discoloration on the paint.

I like using varsol too. Using a hot hair dryer is another good technique.
