Default Best way to get 3M adhesive off your cars paint

I got some badges for my car online and want to put them on the exterior. I got them yesterday but they dont look like they will hold up to weather real well (Im not sure, but thinking it). Anyways they use a 3M adhesive pad to attach.

If they start to look like **** from weather exposure, I want to take them off. How hard is it to get the 3M adhesive off my car and whats the best way to do it without messing up my paint or the protectant coating I got from the dealership on it? Thanks.

Goo Gone can work pretty well. we use (@ my work) an adhesive remover by C.R. Laurence, its more potent than regular goo gone, but will not harm the paint, i dont know if it can be bought @ any store so check out their website http://www.crlaurence.com
, they have all types of cleaners and waxes and whatnot.

Not hard to take off the tape. Like mentioned above make sure you use the right product for what your trying to do. removing the tape might be a little time consuming but it will come off no problem.
