You can always use a rubber blade

I used a toothpick and tweezers to get all of the little stubborn pieces under the weatherstripping, worked great.

When I removed mine, I had a bunch of swirls in the paint, I'm not sure if there's still some adhesive left or the adhesive remover itself damaged the paint. Any ideas?

There is tons of stuff in the wax section that will take out swirls and orange peal just take a look. my dad has a black vette so he has used just about all of them and it just seems to rely on how much work your willing to put into it.

use a clothing steamer, it heats up the vinyl and also kinda lubes it up break the vinyl down the middle this will allow you to pull it from the middle out and you remove all spots even under molding did this on mine it took a little effort but no cutting was required
