Better adhesive removing solvent?

[bradleyheathhays]

I've been letting some original Goo Gone formula sit on this for a couple nights now and it doesn't seem to be touching it at all. Any suggestions for a better solvent/whatever to get this gunk off before I put the new decal on?

I've always loved Goof Off, but it's likely the same as Goo Gone.
You may also try warming it up with a heat gun. Maybe carefully scrape it with a plastic scraper.

I think it's one of those things where you stick at it a couple of days and it wears off.

Thanks Terry that's encouraging to know. My next step is to soak with goo gone, cover with plastic and then cover with a wet towel, pouring hot water on the towel over some hours and see if that gets it.

You could use a terrycloth towel or washcloth. Something with a bit of thickness. Using a clothes iron if you do not have a heat gun. Then iron the towel over the glue. Just be sure the towel is thick enough and iron not so hot to ruin the paint.
The softening glue will stick to the towel.

Also i see most use goof.

Did you ever get it removed? What worked?

It took absolutely forever but I eventually got some Goof Off and it came off after around 15 soakings. I don't think the Goo Gone I was originally using did anything at all. Right now I'm trying to remove the 4x4 symbols toward the rear on the sides and they're a booger as well. They're clear stickers with an outline of 4x4 as opposed to the black stuff picture above. Tried Goof Off for at least 20 applications and got very little result. Right now I'm soaking with WD40 every few days and making at least a little progress. I've probably done about 20 soakings with it as well.

I should try a little heat like you suggest and see what happens.
