Ok, I'm installing a pee valve during this down time and it's time to try on and size the condom cath. What are the tricks to getting them off pain free?

Take Fentanyl, or get really drunk.
If you get them one size too small, get used to the glue not releasing untill you're at eye level or 2' longer than normal, whichever comes first.

medical adhesive remover, hot showers, etc. it's not a fun process
OP
Is the spray type, wipes or the squirt bottle best? Any brands work better than others?
You forgot nitro solvent, you can also use the same surgical spoons that are used for a d&c procedure.

Trim, trim, trim! I just lift the base end and pull just enough for it to slowly release, it’s really not bad once you get the hang of it.
Grip it and rip it
If you've got one that's really sticking, if you can get a little bit of the base released, mineral oil will actually loosen it up well. I reveserve mineral oil for the ones that adhesive remover pads and hot showers don't work for.

I use wipes when I can because they're easier to keep at dive sites. but what @lexvil said is important. I highly recommend investing in something that is actually designed for manscaping...
OP
Already done, the manscaped lawn mower 3.0 is pretty good and I have a dedicated safety razor.
A little gross... but here’s how I remove them...
I usually have to urinate after getting out of everything... the urine helps loosen off the glue at the tip... I make sure the head is free before proceeding...
Roll/stretch out the catheter from the base and work you way up.... the painfullest parts are either a hair, or the tip... the rest isn’t that bad...
If it’s really on there, or you sandwich a part of you between the glue... your only bet is a shower and pull hard and fast! Then cry in the corner from the pain and mild
Concussion after you collapse..
