Quarter panel sticker residue

Is that supposed to be more aggressive/stronger than the normal GG?

 

It says it is safer for the paint. Found online:
"Goo Gone Automotive is not the same as the regular Goo Gone. Regular Goo Gone may likely damage a car's paint, but Goo Gone Automotive is specifically designed to remove stains from a vehicle's surface without removing the paint."

 

This is the shit

 

Unfortunately as stated above its the first thing the guys at the car color place tried and it didnt even phase it or change it in the least. Whatever it is its no longer just on the surface.

 

Yikes

 

Had the same problem. Eraser wheel did the trick for me: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/removing-trd-decal-residue.604573/#post-22887136

Mind the 4000 rpm speed limit. I used a 3000 rpm corded electric drill. Don't use it with a crazy air grinder.

 

Dang, may have to give that a shot! Thanks

 

^If you don't want to wait for delivery, your local Auto Zone or O'Reilly store may have it as well:

I’m really curious what polishing compound would do at this point given the lack of success with the adhesive removing chemicals…

 

Honestly since I already have the compound and the polish to specifically remove the swirl marks from this compound Im thinking I may try it.........but then again if I can get the sticker remover locally.......

Will have to try something tonight

 

No clay bar?

 

Funny you say that, I have an older Meguiars clay bar that I have used seemingly hundreds of times to remove tree sap from several of my cars and have not tried it on this yet.

Another one to try!

 

The 3M Eraser wheel is the absolute best way to remove decals. Hands down, I removed a 2 x 4 decal on a work van in about 15- 20 minutes with minimum effort. The drill does all the work.

 

If I can get one locally that sounds like the way to go. + I have a variable speed drill too, so Ill probably take a trip down to the local O’Reillys and/or AutoZone

 

Sometimes you just got to use your fingernail and pick the shit off like a booger.

 

lol - all booger material removed. The only thing now that remains are some marks that look like flat areas.
There are 0 sticky areas at all. Nothing really to pick or scrape off at all.

 

Here is an idea of what it looks like although in some angles it's hard to tell.

This is a before:



Passenger side:



It's fairly smooth too, but just a VERY minor hint of something other than a smooth painted surface

 

They won't have it. An autobody supply store will have it.

 

Just scored this at the local AZ:


We'll see how it goes and I'll report back

 

Looks like you got it off already. What isn't smooth?
