On removing the side spears residue. If you go down to your local automotive paint supply store they sell what's called a pin stripe removal disk. There are several styles but they are basically a big eraser that you attach to a drill. Price is $8-20. I bought an $8 one and it works great. You can use it to remove stickers, dealer names and logos, and the residue from the adhesive. I have used the heat gun and the sticker removal liquid, the eraser is 10 times easier and you don't have to worry about marring the paint. The only problem I have had is using it to remove chrome or brushed aluminum stickers. They are so tough that I ended up removing paint. This may not be a good option on a brand brand new car since the paint may not be fully cured. On a 6 month or older car you are probably okay.
