Well, here is the thing, my car that has been sitting outside of the dealer for quite sometime before i went and purchased it.. And as a result the wrappings (white tape fro when its shipped from the factory) residue has melted into the paint or merged with it. I have left it alone until now.
So to the point is there a way to remove the merged wrapping residue with hand?

I would use deoderized mineral spirits. A bug and tar remover should also work.

Try Oil-Flo. I doubt the film/residue melted into the paint. These cars sit for 6 months or more in the baking sun some times with the film on it and this never happens. Oil Flo is a great adhesive remover and should fix your troubles.

The dealer didn`t prep the car before you purchased it?? Bring it back and have them deal with it.

Well its over a year and a half now...and i was not there when my dad picked it up. So i guess i can`t do much. However the only i can do now is give it a full wash and clay treatment and polish and seal afterward,.

Is the Titan Oil Flo safe for the car?

Yes, we use it all of the time for adhesive and pins tripe removal, tar removal and some tree sap.
