I just removed my door molding and pin striping the other day. I rubbed it with some goo gone to get it a little more supple and sat there and rubbed it off with my fingers. After it was all off I used a clay bar then polished and waxed it. Was the easiest way i found. Yeah it was time consuming but no scratches.

Exactly right. I used to work in body repair and they make a rubber eraser wheel that goes on a drill air or cord or battery will work as long as it has enough rpm to turn it when you try to remove the double sided tape. Parts stores and paint shops should carry them.

Just be careful with the eraser wheel , I have seen people blister the paint or burn through it . As far as chemicals go , mineral spirits or diesel fuel / kerosene work well . No harm to paint . W/D 40 works great to .
