Default Little tip for decal goo

I think everyone knows about the hair dryer/heat gun trick. Iso Alcohol and WD-40 as well.

(This is starting to sound strange...but got some good advice today)

But if you have decals that have left behind a residue that seemingly will not ome off.

Get some WD-40...and spray on the affected area...let soak. Repeat.

Then take a car pinstripe removal tool.

Or this, which takes longer but is cheap.

Yeah, and for those stubborn pieces of goo, like the kind lurking under decals 7-10 years old, Goo Gone, Adhesive removers of any kind,
take forever and a day top get the crap off of there.

Trust me, I know, I've tried both and for really sticky, just won't come off crap, my post is correct, your's is wrong, so live and learn.

Doesn't goof off discolor your paint also?

I know when I used it a while back for latex paint it worked great to remove the latex paint overspray. I believe it discolors regularautomotive paints and the like but it may just do that for certain types of automotive paints.

Unless they reformulated it in recent years I would read the back of the can and make sure it is safe for your paint type and for abs plastics before I trusted it on your body work.
