For which part? Wd-40 removes gunk and grime from paint and it does not hurt it, and the plastic scraper is used to get the corner up so you can peal it off. If you take your time and work it right there is no damage what so ever on the paint. I also used the eraser wheel for a while but that thing got me really nervous when using it because of how hot it got.

No I used the scraper for the 3mm tape that was left on the truck, I used the eraser wheel for a while but I didn't like how hot it was getting and not taking anything off (probably a bad wheel) so I pulled up a stool and took my time peeling it off. To get the badges off I had some nylon catfish line that I attached to a short broom handle to save my fingers.

Goo Gone/goof off works great on adhesives,My brother in law always debadges cars at his body shop with a heat gun on a low setting moving back and forth over the badge,you could use a hair dryer I suppose if you don't have a heat gun.

The link by Hammer or the video by Rubberfrog is the best IMO I tried all the other ways and finally gave in and bought a eraser wheel and never turned back. As long as you don't run the drill too fast it works great. Slow and easy is the ticket.
