Default How do you remove adhesive residual glue from a car?

I purchased a beater car from a local dealership here in town and the dealer slapped on their dealer decal on it. It wasn't till I got home that I noticed it and I immediatly peeled it off. It still left a film of residual glue on the car and I want to know if there's anything out there that will take it off painlessly. Thanks.

Some WD-40 might work. If not, an auto supply/parts store should carry cans of decal/glue remover...

Default RE: How do you remove adhesive residual glue from a car?

a hair dryer (to heat the glue) and an old credit card to scrap with works too... not the best for the paint however... Turtle wax bug and tar remover and goo gone are the two best things I have used to remove "goo" from my cars surface... on one car I took all the "badges" off using this method... and my new car had a dealership sticker that I carefully removed using the hair dryer, finger nail, turtle wax method...

good luck!

I dont know about glue, but Mineral Spirits works well for getting gum off.
