Re: goo gone?

It might be worth trying a claybar. I don't think goo-gone will eat paint, but I'm not sure.

Re: goo gone?

Its a bar made of synthetic clay, and looks sort of like play-doh. It's a very mild abrasive, and it works really well for removing wax, and contaminants embedded in the paint. I use meguiar's claybars, they run about $20 at any auto parts store. It also comes with a spray bottle of soapy water. You spray the area, then buff with the clay bar, pretty much like polishing.

Re: goo gone?

Goo Gone should'nt eat paint we use it at work on some painted items and have never had any issues with that. It works great on some adhesives and not hardly at all on others though but its pretty cheap so it'd probably be worth a shot.

Re: goo gone?

Goo Gone is harmless to a properly applied paint job. 3M adhesive remover also works great.
