remove 3M tape solution HELP!!!

HELP!
Is there any way I can use to remove the 3M tape on my car ? They are so tight and seem like non-removable?
any chemical stuff that I can use in order to remove those tapes but SAFE for the paint?
Thanks.

WD40 or Goo Gone works well. Just don't let it sit on there too long. They also make adhesive remover that works well. Check auto parts stores or talk to someone at a body shop.

3M makes a great adhesive remover. Also use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm it up, it will come off easier

Thanks fsttyms1
Acutally I have tried WD40... doesnt work for my case
Where can I get the "3M adhesive remover"?
Is it a spray?

The 3M tape on my car is so thin and there is NO such a gap between the body of my car and the tape...

its harder to find. I think (not positive) home dept sells it, some auto parts stores have it and most auto paint stores have it.
Try using a heat gun/hair dryer to warm up the tape. It will make a difference

actually it's not the regular 3M tape....it's called 3M Reflective Sheeting which contains some sort of metal sheet in it. Really hard to get rid of it....

doesnt matter, if its got adhesivein it the 3M remover works best. and seeing your in a cold area, heat will allow the glue to soften and the stuff to be removed alot easier. when its cold its REAL hard to get stuff of
