WD40 or Googone works well but I use nose grease. Rub your finger along the side of your nose to pick up some grease. Gently rub the sticker goo with that finger and your nose grease will eventually disolve the sticker goo. You may have to do it more than once. When you're done, buff that area with a clean cotton cloth.

I would use GooGone. The stuff is very runny, so be very sparing with it as a lot tends to come out. Put just enough to moisten the gummy residue but not enough to run over the side. Let sit a few minutes (but don't let it dry out), then rub the spot with a paper towel. Sometimes you have to repeat this.

 

GooGone is also excellent on stickers that have long ossified on books, because it doesn't cause the nasty effect water causes on paper. Sure, you don't want to overdo it, but it really is an excellent product that actually does as advertised.

GooGone is what I use also. I've been using it for years and have never had a problem.

WD works great!

If you take a blow dryer to It, before you peel It off. You will have no goo left on.

try dabbing it with with a piece of tape (many times like your trying to get lint off of something). the goo sticks to the tape and no greasy mess.

Like others have said WD40 or googone will work. If you don't have those around moisten a paper towel or cloth with any cooking oil and rub the goo a little bit - it will come off easy. Then use a little soap and water to remove the oil.

Hehe, I guess one day I will read a post about all the uses of ear wax. Hmm, also wondering if anyone has tried licking the sticker goo to see if that works.

If we keep talking about nose grease, some credulous and literal-minded soul is going to first coat his nose with axle grease, then attempt to use that, then post complaining that it doesnt work worth a damn.

DE-SOLV-IT is another product like Goo-Gone, works the same. Grab a tissue, dampen a spot with product, apply to plastic, rub gently, let soak for seconds if needed, carefully use a fingernail if needed, polish dry with other part of tissue.

 

I would not use WD-40. JMHO

Why would anyone even know that would work?

I believe I read that Watch makers used to do this to add a spot of lube to the jewel movements of a watch.
