couldn't you heat gun it off of the car, then wash it and use a clay-bar to help with the residue, then wax and buff it all when you're done? I don't think that would be too hard, but then again I don't have a 240 yet

mine seems baked on ... an hour of goo remover and razor will get a few inches off for me. my bro tried this erasure thing and took off some clear coat. most likely i'll get a paint job in the far future.

Acetone will take off the residue with out damaging the paint. Just put some on a CLEAN rag and scrub away!
