Default Decal removal

So
I got those ugly WARNING decals off of my fenders (all 12+ of them)
Now
What is the best product to get that sticky glue residue off that remains

Goof-Off. Just use it sparingly. Or, heat up the glue with a heat gun or hairdryer, then lightly scrape the glue off or use windex and a rag.

FTR, had you used a heat gun or hairdryer to remove the stickers, both the stickers and the glue would have come right off.

I did use the hair dryer
I also did this on my previous machine (colored plastic)
Maybe it didnt work as good where my new machine is Metallic Paint???
IDK
Anyways they came off easy but the sticky residue remains this time around

Hey Yammy I find that using a cloth saturated in just gasoline works awesome to take off that sticky goo from stickers.

Yup,I used it on mine to take off my stickers. Another option is WD-40.

During my early years of working for new and used car dealers , and later working as a truck driver at Textile Rubber And Chemical Company we used WD 40 to remove road tar , latex and natural rubber from my automobile's without damaging the paint ; it worked great for this job of keeping the sticky stuff from painted surface's !

As for the big rig's we had a steamer for washing out the inside of the stainless steel tanker's and the outside of these tanker's , the steamer was safe to use on the painted surface's of tracktor cab's with pressure adjustment ; but WD 40 worked fine cleaning the goo from auto's and does a good job on cycle's and atv's !

The next time you're at your local Auto Parts Store or Wal Mart read the label for all the safe useage's of this product !
