Best Products/Process to remove Side Moulding

Just as the title says what have people used to remove their side moulding?

I am thinking about removing mine and would like some suggestions as to what type of product would remove the glue and not harm the paint in any way.

3M glue solvent worked fine for me to remove falling off trim.

I used a heat gun to remove the mouldings theirselves. If your not planning on painting be carfull, don't use use anything too abrasive for the glue. Get a plastic paint stipper from the a harbware store.
You could probably clean up the last bit with a rubbing compound or cleaner wax.

go to your local professional autobody shop. I got a wheel that is basicly a big eraser that removes dibris from the paint WITHOUT SCRATCHING

Rapid Remover

Go to a local sign shop and as for some "Rapid Remover" or delimolean (sp?). Works great. DONT let the tell you that Goo Off or Goo Gone or any of that crap works because it will take days. I Got all of mine of in about 2 hours. Didn't hurt the paint either. And it worked better than the 3M IMO.
