How to remove 3M automotive double-side tape?

How to remove 3M automotive double-side tape?

I taped voltage stabilizer to the battery cover. Now I would like to relocate it.
I used hard force to pulled it out from the battery cover.
But all tape still remain on the voltage stabilizer.


I tried everything that I could think off.

Alcohol
Paint Thinner
Acetone
WD-40
Sea Foam Spray
Windex
&
Googone (left it overnight!)


It still not pealing off. Not at all....

What next?
Thanks.






ps. 3M double-side tape really does the job.
It withstand high heat in engine compartment very well.

Just hope that you do not want to move it in the future.

Go to speality Auto store buy the 3M adhesive remover.

Yes, they do make this product.

Other wise... brake cleaner works on most surfaces including some plastic and cloth.

Edit: MEK Methol Ethel Ktone if you can get it.

the other stuff will get the goo off after you remove the part, and that is the hard part.
