I used goop off and it worked great. Then took a buffer to the back and boom....clean and good as new.

if Gel-Coat, Acetone will work well. If paint, don't use Acetone.... You could also try a eraser wheel (just like it sounds, its a giant rubber eraser on a mandrel so you can use it with a drill). You can find them at most automotive paint jobbers (some auto part stores may sell them too). Also try to add a little bit of heat to the mix. A hair dryer should be enuff to soften the glue without hurting the paint/gel. If using a heat gun, be careful too much heat will blister paint and turn Gel Coat Yellow.

You can use WD40 or 3M makes an adhesive remover that'll kick any glues azz....

Rubbing alcohol. (isopropyl) Same thing you would use to prep for new stickers.

We use commercial grade stuff here at work, but goof off or whatever its called should work fine.

Just follow the instructions on the bottle and do NOT so it in direct sunlight. The sun will make it absorb away before it has time to break down the glue for removal.

Acetone, carb cleaner, Brake cleaner Goo gone, goof off. Of course you have to watch what U use as far as damaging effects. I think Hardline makes one as well, they are the company that does the # lettering kits. Also some cleaner waxes work real good as well. Collinite cleaner wax use to be good for it but have not used in years. Also a hair dryer to soften the adhesive up first works then a cleaner. Also believe it or not magic eraser works sometimes just as good as anything on some marks and adhesive residues.

Rapid remover from a sign supply store.

Try WD-40. I have had good luck with it on sticker glue.
