Default Removing adhesive residue

I had to remove my old bumper inserts because they were slowly falling off. My question is, what is the safest and most effective way of removing the left over adhesive that is now on the bumper letter grooves due to the removal of the letters? thanks

Again, make sure to throw some wax on it when you're done.

My brother in-law details and he said he sometimes uses Kerosene,He'll use it on the whole car to remove old wax.He said the car comes up sweet with no harm.I used it to remove Pin stripes on my 92 Achieva and the car rewaxed great.Just be sure to Wipe it off good and in the shade!
good luck!!

Hairdryer. Heat it up, and pick at it with your fingers, works the best and sag
