Use a piece of wood like clothes peg so as not to scratch.
Also found just peels off using finger nails.

Try spraying it with brake cleaner or possibly WD40, then scrape with something soft, plastic/wood and then go over with a polish

Buy yourself a toffee wheel of Amazon or eBay and fit it to a corded or cordless drill(my cordless drill isn’t fast enough so I use a corded drill).Makes light work of that job,also good for removing graphics,stickers and badge residue(3M double sided tape)from panels and glass,just keeps it moving on panels as not to burn the paint.
Been doing it this way for years and always works,without issue.

Just did this with a combination using wood as a scraper, and https://googone.com/automotive-spray-gel.
I followed up after washing and drying with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Then ceramic with a good wheel ceramic. I used https://gtechniq.com/shop/auto/wheels-t ... el-armour/
Now my brake dust is removed with a hose spray in seconds during weekly washes... its amazing.

There is a fluid call Sticky Stuff that is great for getting adhesive off ...used it when replacing stone chip film on the x5 to get the adhesive off

Never heard of this before, had a look and although I dont think I would use it on bodywork, on the wheels getting the adhesive off looks a lot quicker than everything I have used in the past.
