  Now that I took off my Tank Badges , I'm having a little trouble getting that old dried up glue left behind off ... I have tried the Goo-Be-Gone and it did not much do anything , but soak the old glue ... any suggestions , BECAUSE I have some pinstriping underneath where the badges were and I don't want to mess up my pinstriping if at all possible ... Thanks the Geezer crazy2

Charcoal Lighter fluid works well on glue and road tar without damaging the paint.

Spray it and let it soak in WD-40, heat it with a heatgun/blowdryer, re-spray with WD-40. Rub it off with your fingers

friend that does vinyl work says common kitchen vegetable oil works for taking the sticky glue off. I have never used it myself, but it is easier on stuff than the other chemicals listed.

3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, P/n  08984, should be available at your local body/auto paint  supply house. BE CAUTIOUS AROUND PLASTIC WITH THIS!!!

Mineral Spirits or Go-Jo hand cream which has MS in it..if using the Go-Jo just put it on and let it soak in.
Make sure you get the original and not the one with pumice in it.
