Default Goof off

Hey all,
New to the board. Seems like a great place to hang out and looking forward to that. Have a quick Question. I decided to remove my reflectors off my 06 Deluxe. Rear fenders were a breeze left lots of adhesive behind. Fronts came off with some 20lbs test line. The adhesive left behind the fronts was rubberyish I managed to rub that off with my fingers then hit it with goof off. Took it right off.

So my question is if I use the goof off on the rear fender will it damage the paint?

I used dental floss on the rear to remove the reflectors and used Goof Off with a micro fiber cloth and did not have any problems. Looks great!! Have a happy turkey day!!

Heat them up with a heat gun/hair dryer and they peel right off.

WD40 is great for desolving adhesive.

It is a method i have used for a long time... WD-40 a good Go - Between after goo gone. So , The wax will not grind in the goo gone .. Trust me on this one . A long time very good painter told me this a few years ago .
