Default ADHESIVE removal from truck door

So removing the molding off the truck doors on my 2008 Chevy Silverado is kinda easy peasy ... But... I'm trying to figure out how to get the adhesive off without removing or scratching the paint. I don't have one of those erasers that connect to a drill that buffs it off or whatever it's supposed to do. I don't want to go buy one either. What else can I buff it off with? I'm scared to scratch my paint. I don't want to go buy a tool that I'm not ever going to use again. Before anybody asks me why don't I just go buy one. I wouldn't be able to know how to use it by myself anyways. Has anybody taken the molding off of their truck before? Or at least the adhesive part? Any hints or tips or tricks to help me maneuver through this process will be greatly greatly appreciated! Hope everybody is having a fantastic weekend!

try a hair dryer and plastic scraper.

two substances that might help loosen it up and won't harm paint:
rubbing alcohol
mineral oil
