after repaint question

Hi guys,

AFter my car got repainted, how to remove the residue from the back tape that the body shop used? I got my A-pillar repainted, and now left with some residue from the back tape. The residue is located near the footstep near the word "ACURA"

probably try some goo-gone (which some people use when they are de-badging their car)

I think others also use rubbing alcohol?

can't use wax, already try it and it doesn't work. I don't know how the back tape can cause some bubbles on the paint though. it is so hard to remove

You can't wax it for at least 50 days.

Can I wash it with high pressure wash? BTw the bodyshop said they only paint with clear coat, not with primer, so can I wash it with high pressure wash?
