You can get one of these from a local autobody supply shop... Put it in a drill and zap it away. It will leave rubber residue that GOO GONE will take away without a problem. Other than that you are all elbow grease.

I've removed mine several times, soak it with DW40 and let it sit overnight. I didn't have to use any fishing line, it basically peeled right off.

You can also get some 3M adhesive remover from a bodyshop supply place as that does an excellent job of breaking down the adhesive.

Goo Gone is not for use on painted surfaces.
Neither is GoofOff. Read the instuctions, kids.
Roll the foam off with your thumb and remove the adhesive
with some paste wax.
3M Emblem and Trim Adhesive remover is the King of
removing cured 3M Acrylic adhesive.
Parts store if you are really serious about removing the 3M tape.
