Default Best way to remove adhesive on paint?

Hey, I’m about to move some of my emblems to a different location on my car and wanted to know if it’s possible to remove the remaining adhesive on the car without damaging the paint? The adhesive isn't the stock, it’s some multipurpose adhesive.

An eraser wheel should work pretty good. It might take some shopping around to find one though. or goo gone and plastic putty knife

Go to lowes or maybe even home depot and pick up some "goof off".

Read the bottle but im pretty sure its safe to use on paint.

If your talking about the thick grey 2 -sided tape its best to let it sit in the sun or heat it up with a heat gun or hair dryer even, and pick as much off with your hands as you can and use the goof off to remove the left over glue.

I do vinyl lettering and graphics so I use a commercial adhesive remover but customers have told me they used that before and it worked.
