Whats the best way to remove sticker goo. I peeled the stickers but have a lot of sticky goo left. Whats every one using to get it off.
 
At my work we use goof off to remove the rest of the stickers on the call plates it takes the goo off but that on metal sheets its probably easier
 
Zippo lighter fluid is the best, but not everyone has some sitting around. But - the next best things to remove sticker goo is something EVERYONE has in their garage.... WD-40.

Goof-Off will work on metal, but should NEVER be used on plastic. It will melt it! (Found out the hard way...)
 
yeah but lighter fluid will take color out his plastics correct?

I won't say for sure, when I was younger I used to take stickers off toys all the time with lighter fluid and I don't ever remember it bleaching the plastics...after all, color is all the way thru plastic, not a skin like paint.
 
Ive been using Goof Off but it seems to be taking a long time and its not getting it all off. I wonder if I can use a scotch bright with it and if that will help or if it will scratch it all up.
 
Acetone with a rag and wear rubber or latex gloves because it will pull all of the oil out of your skin, but works great and wont hurt the plastics, you can get it at a hardware store or automotive store it's about 7.00 for a quart
 
Marine Fuel (denatured alc.) works good. get it at any hardware store.... Also is good to use to clean area before you apply new decals or stickers.
