Hey everyone! I'm looking for help on the best way to remove the residue from the dealer advertisement I peeled off my car. From what I've research on here, it seems that the 3M adhesive remover is the best option, but I wanted to see what other recommendations everyone had. Thank you!

Goof off works great to dissolve adhesive residues and can be found at pretty much any hardware store.
 
I used a heat gun and CarPro's Tar X to remove the adhesive from my car. Used a little polish afterwards since my fingernail caused a little marring.

Before


After
 
I just used some warm soapy water and my nail when I peeled the dealer logo off my Grand Cherokee. Then polished/resealed that area. Came out perfect.
 
The first thing I did before leaving the dealer was peel their decal off. Lucky for me it was a solid square, and nothing left behind.

On ones that leave stuff behind I soak it with warm soapy water and rub off with a MF. If any more is still their I use Goo Gone.
 
I have one in the window but its from the manufacture regarding about warning
 
heat gun/hair dryer to heat it up, peel it off then use Maxx Solv, Prep-All or any prep solvent on a blue paper shop towel to wipe away the residue. you might need to soak the towel and press it against the residue for a minute so it softens things if it has been there for a while.
 
3M Adhesive Remover will work great for this project. Goo Gone is also very effective.
 
Thanks for all the Info everyone. I'm going to try goo gone first and if that doesn't work, I'll order the 3m spray.

With the goo gone, don't just spray it on. Spray or pour it onto a cloth or paper towel and hold that onto the area. Let it sit there if you can, or just keep it pressed up against the car. Let it really soak in for a while.

Thanks for the advice. Ill try and see how it works!
 
goo gone or tarminator are the cheapest that will work on i would apply the product to the towel and work it in
 
Yup, Goof Off, Goo Gone etc. Is exactly what i used recently to debadge a customer's request. I used a q-tip and soaked just the gummy residue and let it dwell for a bit. Came right off. Then a thorough clean of the area before polishing the entire vehicle.

Came off so good you would never know it was ever there but it was a new car and there was no paint mismatch underneath after.
 
I've had great luck with 3m's. Goo gone has been hit and miss for me.
 
I have used WD-40 to get some sticker residue off. I sprayed it on a towel and carefully wiped it on.
