Go to your nearest autopaint store and ask them for a can of 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner. I have a can at home used it before works great. Working now or I would give the number on the can cost around $8.00. Wax after using good luck.

3m also makes a rubber wheel that removes it. It's like a big spinning eraser

Wow, that came off a body kit? Umm.. I think you should call up a detailer and see what they think first. Can it be scraped off with your nails?

Is that glue solid or still tacky like rubber? If its solid you definitely may have to sand/pry it off which may damage the paint. But if its still tacky you should be able to pick it off with some adhesive cleaner (goo gone, super hot water, etc)

u can try carefully using a flathead screw driver/razor blade and see if you can pry/cut it off in one piece without ripping off any paint. Not sure why they used that silcone sealant instead of using the 3m auto tape...

hence the razor blade to cut it off. Similar to how they remove silicone sealant in construction.
