Default Tape Residue

I recently painted an evo but i got a lot of tape residue from the Masking tape I used, especially on the front Air****... these areas are too small for my fingers to reach (obviously), I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how I can get this residue off because its making the paint look bad.

Thanks

GooGone works great for getting off sticky stuff (wait that didnt sound right) works great for removing sticky stuff.

And I've heard of people using paint thinner on the end of a toothpick to get into small areas and creases to remove paint (I suppose it could also work with GooGone one the end of a toothpick to remove gunk in creases)

Good luck!

1/4 liquid soap (dish washing soap) and 3/4 water.... dip in and scrub lightly with an old toothbrush....this has always worked for me. Be carful about brushing too hard though or you may damage your paint.
