I have tried this only a few times, using 3M masking tape. It picked up a good bit of the residue, but I still had to go over it with RR and a L'il Chizler. I know it's messy. I line the floor underneath the vehicle with a good layer of paper towels to catch all the goo and vynull adhesive boogers. There is no joyful way of removing reflective so be sure to charge for your time!
