If it's in the little gaps, use a toothpick with some cloth (like an old t-shirt) to pick it out.

Simple procedure IMHO: Knauberize, wipe off wax.

well i removed my door ding guards,, simple enough process, thing is it's gonna take me forever to get the adhesive off,, so for now i'm driving around with white side racing stripes  there is some residue that has built up that is not easily removable, so i hope a clay-bar will be able to remove it... otherwise i will have a slightly bad looking car until i can get it painted.

Take a terry towel and put some Goo Gone on it. Moisten the adhesive a bit. Then just use your thumb to remove the adhesive. Your thumb will be sore by the time you are done, but at least you won't have any side racing stripes.
