Just bought a Softail Breakout, and I removed the pillion seat, underneath of which is a clear plastic film which is stuck onto the rear fender. It peels off easily but leaves a sticky residue behind. What is the recommended product to use to remove the residue without affecting the clear coat?

Goofoff I thought was designed for painted services? There is Goofoff 2 as well...?

HEAT! Use a blow dryer on the hottest setting to loosen the adhesive and wipe it off. Anything that's left over should come off w/Goo Gone.
I use this method on the hull of my boat when changing out stickers and it works really well without much effort.

WD40 is perfect for this.
It will not harm paint, and I've never had any adhesive residue that it didn't take off.
