I've used rubbing alcohol in the past for residue like that, comes off really easy. Just use a microfiber towel so you don't scratch the paint, and also wax it as it will strip the wax as well.

You COULD also use goo gone, but I think that is more harsh.

Here is a post on meguiars detailing forums about people using alcohol for stuff like this:

Go to O'Reilly, advanced auto, I don't think autozone has them.

3M Adhesive decal removal wheel, you can google it, It is round and goes on a drill. It is rubber and you won't hurt your paint. I've used mine at least a dozen times on projects just like this. It is hardly worn down and I have never hurt the paint. You can't even tell there was a sticker there.

^^Yes, a rubber wheel works great and wont hurt a thing. I have used one numerous times to remove just what you have pictured as well as pin-stripes.

Start with the easiest and least aggressive approach first. WD40, a citrus based cleaner or bug & Tar remover would be first. If that doesn't work, go to isopropyl alcohol and then last thing to try would be lacquer thinner. I suggest you wash and wax it when you are finished.

Another vote for the 3M wheel. I've had great results with it.

You can't go wrong with the rubber wheel from 3M, by far the quickest and easiest way to remove pin striping and 2 sided adhesive tape.
