Default How to remove duct tape adhesive?

I had my drivers power window motor die and I had to tape plastic over the window opening and now that the window is fixed how do I remove the residue from the duct tape without ruining the paint?

GooGone, available at most auto stores, works like a charm for any sticky residue.

3M has an adhesive remover that you spray on, let it soak and remove. GooGone works well also.

WD-40, but you will need to re wax the area after.
