Howdy guys,

Just bought a new truck.  I was taking off the dealer's sticker (and license plate frame) and the sticker left some sticky residue in the form of the dealer's emblem.  The more I mess with the stuff the more gooey it gets.  What will take it off and not hurt the paint?

As a designated gunsmith, ammo r&d tech, and also baseball card collector, I too recommend GOO GONE. I have used it to remove lots of sticker resindue from plastic cardholder. It also has a nice orangey scent.

Is that the same thing as GOOF OFF?  I have a can of that.  It says that is for gum, paint, etc.  Think this will work?  Obviously only a little on a rag, but what do I wipe the paint off with after I remove the sticky stuff?  Rinse with water?

I'm usually not so picky about stuff, but this is the first time I've ever bought a vehicle new off the lot and I want to take care of it so it will last me a while.

You go to the dealer and say "I bought a new vehicle here and for some reason someone at your company put a sticker on it. I didn't pay for a car with a sticker on it and I don't want a sticker on it. I took it off but there's still some residue on the car. Since you put the sticker on without my permission, I'd like for you to remove it so I can have the car appear the way I paid for it".

Goof Off is great, but man does it stink.

Definitely Goo Gone.  The kind that smells like oranges.

I've heard lemon juice before though?

Yes.  Good for removing bumperstickers, too.
