Default Cleanup After Taking Off Stickers

I've heard of Goo Gone, but have never used it. Just got my new bike in May & still have a couple of those WARNING stickers on some chrome, that I want to take off. What takes off the leftover sticker gummy residue?

I used a combination of goo gone, a PLASTIC scraper, and elbow grease. Worked out great

Goo Gone is awesome stuff. Put a little on a cotton ball let it soak in for a couple of minutes and wipe it off. Works great. I had some leather burnt onto my exaust from chaps getting to close to pipe used goo gone to get it off took a little bit but can't even tell it was there.

I have some of that label remover junk that you can get at any auto parts store. Works great for me. Spray it on and let it sit for a few, wipes right off. Does smell like lighter fluid though ;-)

Goo-Gone is excellent. But WD-40 does a good job, too. I think Goo-Gone works quicker, with less elbow grease.

Goo-Gone works great but i have also found at NAPA and adheasive remover that sprays on and works great at removing the gum without removing any paint or damaging chrome. Also Chrome cleaner will break down the goo as well with some elbow grease

I use a heat gun and wipe the residue off with M.E.K.

Works in about 5 seconds.

Hair dryer and WD-40 worked for me.
