I've ordered a plastic razor blade so I'm going to give that a go tomorrow. I don't really want to use any chemicals unless I've exhausted all other options.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll let you know if it works if the next few days.
Use dental floss it will do the trick, honestly you risk damaging your paint using blades etc.Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll let you know if it works if the next few days.

I tried floss to get it off, but it just kept snapping on me. Not sure if the floss was strong enough or what.I'll grab more from Morribobs tomorrow before I try the plastic razors.
Floss only really works on the foam tape sticker backings.
That looks like polyurethane (tigerseal) to me which is a lot tougher. WD40 and Alcohol won't touch it.
Cutting it off (carefully!) has worked for me, 3M make the "stripe-off" wheel for removing adhesive, but I doubt it would work on that.
Spot of heat might make it easier to deal with.
