I use a heat gun (hair dryer might work as well). Heat it up and roll off the gunk with the pad of my thumb. A bit of patience and it seems to come off without any scratches to the paint work. 2021 P400e Autobiography |

Just did mine yesterday. After trying a few things including WD40 which worked to an extent, I soaked some kitchen towel in petrol & stuck it to the adhesive. Left it for about 30/40 mins then scraped it off with a plastic trim tool. Any hard plastic (credit card) would do. Basically came of in a minute or so. Previously had been scraping for about 30 mins with not much to show for it. Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S |

Brake cleaner will break the adhesive down as well.

Screwfix do a small pot of adhesive remover dissolves anything but not paint. Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

Be careful. Nail polish remover contains things like acetone, which disolve paint! |

Never use White Spirit on paint, Methalayted Spirit is the one you need.
