How do you remove double-sided tape?

I have a CF lip spoiler attached w/ double sided tape. I really want to take off the spoiler, but not sure where to start. Are there any products out there that can loosen the adhesive and remove the residue without harming the paint? Or am I just screwed?

Goo Gone or Oops work great.

goo gone is good.. just make sure it's NOT goof off.
but to start... you gotta yank the damn spoiler off first.

also, 3M does make an adhesive remover that's ok for paint.

I bought some of the oops and goo gone, and a thin plastic scraper to break up the adhesive. I was able to slide a towel underneath and break some of the tape off on the left side. Looks like it's going to be time consuming. However, I was able to take of the tC emblem with no problems!

the tC emblem is not even funny simple..

warm day.. took my figers and just pulled the emblem off. rubbed the left over double-sided tape into a ball and just pulled it off.

or you can do what i do. I use a blow dryer and some dental floss. Hold the blow dryer next to the emblem and use the floss to get the glue off
