I did this just last night to my wife's bike.bamawings wrote:how can i get glue off left by stickers
The product is actually called "Goo Gone":
It comes in a few different formats. The spray gel I find doesn't work as well. The best is the one pictured, it's a thin, oily liquid that smells kind of like oranges. The secret to its use, which a lot of people ignore, is that you have to let it sit on the adhesive for a few minutes in order for it to do its work. You put a bit of it on a paper towel, and wipe it onto the adhesive - enough to make it good and wet. Leave it sit for 5 minutes, then use a clean paper towel to wipe off the adhesive. If there's any left, repeat the process. With a lot of adhesive, it takes two or three cycles to get it completely clean. Once it's all gone, clean the oily Goo Gone residue off with soap and water or standard windshield cleaner.
I rarely find any kind of adhesive, stain, etc. that Goo Gone doesn't remove amazingly well.

Re: removing windshield sticker adhesive
Goo be gone is great stuff. I use it all the time. Wd40 can work but leaves an oily residue. Peanut butter will work too. Something about the oils in it. But watch out for the squirrels, they might take a liking, er licking, to your bike. LOL.
