First, don't apply the Goo-Gone with a paper towel. It just stays in the paper towel. Pour it right onto the adhesive and smear it with your fingers (it won't hurt your skin). Let it sit a bit, then start rubbing it off. Second, take the darn straw off the WD-40 can and spray it straight on! The stupid straw is to get the stuff into tiny places. Jeez.

@@backyardchevy328Any thin oil will do the same. Peanut butter, cooking oil, margarine, whatever can soak into the paper will coat the adhesive.

[@steves.7135]

After all these years and debate over what to use to remove sticker adhesive I still can't believe no one ever mentions lighter fluid. Plain Zippo type lighter fluid will loosen it up without melting it like Goo Gone, and won't leave oil all over everything that's hard to clean off. The great thing about lighter fluid is that it is safe to use on plastic and car clear coats(won't fog plastic). Just squirt some on the label or adhesive thoroughly. Then you can either wipe of with a paper towel or if the adhesive is thicker you can use a non-marring plastic tool to scrape off excess. Clean up with soap and water. Much better than any solvent. If you've ever shopped at TJ Maxx and tried to get the stickers off any houseware products you'll thank me.

[@backyardchevy328]

Ill definitely have to try that🙂 thank you for the tip

[@BummersAbound]

Lighter fluid is a solvent.

[@steves.7135]

@@BummersAbound What's your point? They're all technically solvents. Don't be a dick. My point is that Zippo type lighter fluid only contains one thing, a light petroleum distillate that will not harm a cars clear coat.

[@BummersAbound]

@@steves.7135Perhaps I nitpicked your statement Steve. And in doing so was being a dick. I apologize. In the spirit of helping people remove adhesive residue, I agree with you that zippo lighter fluid is a solvent. And just like isopropyl alcohol or vodka (also solvents) can be effectively used to remove adhesive residue. All 3 work on well on surfaces from auto paint to wares from TJ Maxx. I prefer the vodka because the other 2 taste horrible in a martini.

[@dez5]

Lighter fluid, have your extinguisher ready 😂😂

[@rednoise0]

As has been mentioned elsewhere here, lighter fluid is good for removing tape residue. The magic effective component of lighter fluid is naptha, and it does work great for getting sticky tape gunk off. I would be careful using it on a painted surface and try it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't damage anything. I believe Goo One used to contain naptha, and it worked a treat at that time, but then they changed the formula to something less toxic, but also much less effective. I haven't bothered with it since.

Thank you I really appreciate the advice, and yea i definately got rid music on my newer videos for that reason, and will follow ur advice for further videos thank you.

[@misskim2058]

I used the volume control and turned it off, it’s a neat little button that solves such problems. No music is always best, people worry too much about adding music, when none is best. Even with no talking, one can just write words and demonstrate. People also complain about “robot voice” (but would happily listen to fake Stephen Hawking and the computer voice they always played when they’d wheel him out to the masses... dental work and biometrics don’t lie, but those liars making bank off his name sure did), but they fail to realize people may have speech issues; be mute, have an accent they’d equally complain about, or the language isn’t their native tongue and they’d complain about that, too. Some people just like to complain. Others just shush up and say thank you for the information they didn’t have to pay for.

[@backyardchevy328]

Yea i definately got rid of the music in all my newer videos and focus more on narrating instead, but i got a deep voice which still makes it weird cause people find it hard to understand me, but im working on it...i do appreciate the feedback and thank you:) hopefully i do a 2nd part with all the flaws corrected.

[@misskim2058]

Ya, I think people complain too much, they’ll always whine about someone’s voice, and then whine if they have a robot instead, they’ll just whine because they like to. I’d rather people if they do use music that they don’t talk, but write, because then we can just turn it off if we want to and watch. I appreciate you doing the vid:)

@@backyardchevy328 you literally didn't follow directions by letting it soak it! 5 minutes of doing nothing would have saved most of the time you spent rubbing. And if you're going to keep applying 1 you need to do it for the other. You know how many fish tanks an average Petco has? About 80 of just fresh..multiply that by an average of 3 (1.5"×2.5") stickers per tank, so 240 stickers- I removed all that by myself in about 2 hours with Goo Gone. It works when you give it time. Plus it's safe on way more surfaces and is no where near as toxic.

if your in a hurry, it will take longer to do, I use " brasso " brass metal polish, without shaking the tin, if you just dab on the liquid and let it soak in a couple of minutes, it starts dissolving the adhesive, this is in the UK, , if you have a liquid metal polish, brasso has - " isopropyl alcohol 3-5%, ammonia 5-10%, silica powder 15-20% and oxalic acid 0-3%" not saying it works on every adhesive, because there are so many different types.

First of all, using Goo Gone on a vertical surface is virtually impossible, you can't let it sit long enough to affect the adhesive; it works best when left to soak for awhile. I have had exceptional luck with Goof Off, both the green stripe label for superglues and the regular black stripe label for other gooey stuff in removing ancient bumper stickers and foam trim tape from my truck. Both solvents do dry up fast and it does work better when wetter. You do have to rotate the paper towel frequently to keep a fresh part against the sticky stuff, otherwise it will just tend to swirl it around and smear it back on there. I use a Blue Ridge razor blade paint scraper at a very flat angle to gently slide under the old sticker and shave it right off (No, I haven't ever scratched my paint! Just keep it very flat with even pressure on the surface and watch the blade corners. Work slow and steady), and then use the Goof Off. Use this stuff outside or with really good ventilation; the fumes will rot your brain! Doesn't hurt the paint at all. Recently used it to remove the foam trim tape from a set of plastic rain guards that finally cracked and broke off. 19 year old dead, dry, crunchy foam trim tape. That was exciting. Took longer than the old bumper stickers, but Goof Off and the scraper still worked well. I am interested to try the WD-40 and see how it compares to the Goof Off on the bumper stickers though. Thanks for the great video!
