Default Need help on How to remove sticker residue

Like the title states I need help removing sticker residue.

I recently bought a bodykit and had sticker residue on it. Anybpody have suggestions on how to remove it. the sticker is gone but some of the glue is left. The kit is made entirely of carbon fiber with a clear cost over it. Do you think a heat gun and a rag would do? Maybe a clay bar? Any suggestion would be great. Thanks in advance.

Try a product called "goo-gone". It works pretty good with just about anything. But read the label just in case.

I second the goo-gone. Works great and did not appear to affect my Zaino.

WD40 is the ultimate for all kinds of uses and it will make short work of any residue you may have

plus you probably have some in your garage

White spirit, terps something like that !!!! (after you've tried wd40 that is)

Alternatively - give it to a woman - they usually manage to get stuff clean, wish I knew how !!!!!!
