    Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed before 3 and 4

    These simple steps will keep you from worrying over minor cosmetic issues

    Goo Gone you guys are idiots, get a little gas on a red rag rbg it down and toss a lit match. Once the fire is out the streaks will be gone. Goo gone is such hard work 10 minutes and elbow grease who has time for that?

    Take it to a detailer before you get the whole truck painted or selling it

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Get some mineral,spirits and a terry cloth rag. (Do NOT use your wife's good wash cloths. Trust me) use enough to keep the surface wet, and gently rub, moving to a new area on the cloth every so often. It will take a few minutes, but the adhesive will start to soften, and rub off. Wipe clean and use your favorite wax.

    I think that is wise, but what if the overspray gets on the tires?

    Put bumper stickers all over the rest of the truck, then remove them. It will all match
