Sorry to hear about the problem. What kind of person does that to a nice car.
I've used goo gone in the past which has worked fine. Other members have suggested WD40. Either way I'd do a test run on an area thats not so obvious first.

Well, after you permanently disable the SOB's, you use the bloody side of their living flesh to wipe down the car......no, that won't get the tape residue off, so wipe something else up with them and use one of the suggestions above.
That is some totally serious BS....you need new friends.

Goo remover works good also. No matter what you use clean it well afterwards and give it a good heavy waxing.

Soap and water work just fine. If it takes too much elbow grease then wash it and use a cleaner wax. I put duct tape on my car all the time when I go to the track. It isn't that hard to get the stuff off as long as you don't leave it there for a couple of years.
