Light residue, removed with a light wiping from an alcohol-damp cloth

A little chilly outside, so the vinyl ripped. Always pull at a 45-90 maximum degree angle up, and never pull over the stuck material. I'm not certain how better to explain that, but if you're pulling the media up and you find yourself pulling over 90 degrees from the part that still applied, you run a high risk of the glue separating from the vinyl and not the paint.

Driver's side came up MUCH cleaner than the passenger's. I actually took this side off first.

Although I've never required it, 3M makes an adhesive remover, but I trust alcohol better.

"Clean up: 3M primer 94 can be removed with isopropyl alcohol. Vigorous scrubbing may be required."-I've never had to scrub.
