RE: removing two sided tape/residue

3M does make a disc that works on a drill and it works great. I have a yellow one but only use it when nothing else works.

We had several vans wrapped with vinyl decals for our business that needed to be removed. The 3M product works best to remove adhesive. It's called appropriately enough, 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner LOL. It also works great to remove any tar or oil that gets on your paint and absolutely won't harm the finish. I do strongly recommend you wear protective gloves while using it because it contains a lot of nasty solvents in terms of health concerns.
I would definitely not recommendusing any oven cleaner because it typically contains very strong caustic ingredients such as sodium hydroxide. If it contacts any metal parts particularly aluminum, it could cause corrosion.

+1 to the 3M adhesive remover, I used it to remove the factory tape when I replaced my rear spoiler, let it soak for a couple of minutes and it'll wipe right off
