i used this small tin can of a product called "oops" it removes, sticker, tar, all that shit. Put it on a rag or truck it self and get a cloth and rub that shit off. Takes awhile, hurts your fingers but it works in the end

Re: does "goo gone" work ?

I've used Goo Gone every time I de-badged a truck and that tape's as bad as anything. You'll have to soak it in the stuff and then I use rag with it on it to rub it out once the sticker has soaked for a few minutes. Don't be afraid to be liberal with it. It'll take a bit of elbow grease, but it will eventually work.

3m adhesive remover is better. I would try to heat is up real good with a hair dryer. Mineral spirits will get about anything off but you have to be careful what you use that on!!

Re: does "goo gone" work ?

goo gone is the way to go, not a replacement. You shoot some of that on it let it soak for a few and it comes right off. I LOVE GOO GONE!

I used the goo-gone gel spray on the tar on the bottom of my truck. It worked really well. Just need some elbow grease.
