This type of wheel can be used for removing double-face mounting tape:

eraser wheel, they work well, just dont burn your paint off.

Yeah if its a cheapo repaint, you can hurt it with those. Difficult to mess up factory or good refinish paint, and its definitely best to practice first. Plastic parts are much more easily harmed with the eraser wheel, than metal. If the adhesive in question is glue rather than foam tape, the solvent approach works (like goo gone) best. 3M makes "adhesive remover" but you can buy a gallon of decent wax and grease remover for what you'll pay for a quart of that. Results are the same. If you just have a small spot, WD40 or rubbing alcohol are a couple household alternatives. Whatever you do, clean first to avoid scratches.

Brake clean will break it down. Then use your fingers and or a rag to rub/roll the rest off.

Just don't forget to re-wax the area that the brake clean stripped away.
