Instructions
Things You'll Need

* Heat gun or blow dryer
* Razor blade (flat - found at automotive parts store)
* Wax and grease remover (found at automotive parts store)
* Towel

1.
* 1

Park the car in the sun if possible. The sun heats up the tape residue, making it easier to remove. Park the car near an electrical outlet or use an extension cord. Using a heat gun or blow dryer, point it directly at the tape residue. Heat the residue until it is warm and tacky feeling.
* 2

Using your fingers, rub the residue back and forth until it starts to ball up and come off of the car. The heat from the heat gun or blow dryer should have made the residue pliable. Rub until all or most of the residue is gone.
* 3

Lay a razor blade flat against the car's surface and slide it across the residue to remove it. Keep the blade at a small angle, almost parallel with the car's surface. Be careful not to stand the blade up or catch a corner of it on the car's surface.
* 4

Wipe the entire area with a wax and grease remover to remove the remains of the tape residue. The wax and grease remover won't hurt the surface of the car, but it will safely remove the remaining residue.

You can purchase something that I cannot remember who makes it now but I bought it at an AutoZone to remove minor scratches from a vehicle it really worked great and I bet it would probably work on that? Not sure.

Citrus based product called Goo Gone, from Home Depot, Menards,ACE or other good hardware stores. Rub off as much as possible using the "balling" method above then some goo gone an kitchen roll should take the rest.

WD 40 also works well on tar and this type of sticky residue would be good 2nd option
