Default Removing Glue from bumper anyone?

Hey guys.

I'm removing my CME Valance from my car and the body shop used what seems to be like industrial glue to keep the valance to the bumper. Well now i'm trying to find something that would take off this black glue. I tried heating it up and it doesn't seem to affect it much. Just curious if anyone has tired anything and had some success. Might I add the 3M tape that was on there comes off fairly simple.

Thanks,
Ray

Goo Gone, on it for awhile, then scrape with a plastic card like a credit card (that you will never use again) if that doesn't work professional heat gun and scrape.

If they used urethane windshield adhesive, mechanical
removal may be your only option. Get it free in the first
step with an X-Acto knife, and then chisel off the rest
as neatly as you can? Start where it's least visible and
try to develop a feel for it where you take up the glue
and leave the paint. A good sharp wood chisel may be
easier to control than an X-Acto chisel, they are kinda
floppy.
