Sticker goo on gel coat
Do any of you folks know how to safely remove sticker goo from gel coat?
Wife and I went to the Calgary Stampede on a caravan deal and the powers that be put a large sticker on the front of my fiver. I asked them to remove it, which they did, leaving a large patch of sticker goo glue behind. HELP

I use stuff called Goo-Gone. Doesn't seem to hurt the fiberglass. Unfortunately I've had the bottle for years and have no idea where I got it.

We purchased a small bottle of sticker remover - goo something or other - for a $1 per bottle. It smells like citrus. I have removed sticker and the glue residue from 2 different trailers - gelcoat, aluminum, steel - with not problems. It works great.

Goof-Off is the stuff I use. It's available at Home Depot for about $5 for a spray can.
You know those emergency exit stickers on the windows? Ours finally got bleached out from the sun so I removed them. Goof-Off would be the item to remove that glue.
Goo-Gone and Goof-Off are very similar items, but they are different. Both do work.

We use Goo Gone which can be found at hardware stores, craft stores, and Wally World.

Try WD40....you'll be surprised at what it removes.

I used rubbing alcohol to remove the glue from the shrinking decals. Worked out pretty well. You can also try Awesome, that also worked on removing the glue. It did take a bit more elbow grease though...

Thanks all for your kind responses. Now if I can only find that "elbow grease". Wal Mart?

Goo Gone is the best we've ever used for this kind of thing. Available at walmart, grocery stores, etc.
