iShivy obviously they do lol
@@shivy147 You got rekt.
@@shivy147 Real women don't need instructions either.
First, don't apply the Goo-Gone with a paper towel. It just stays in the paper towel. Pour it right onto the adhesive and smear it with your fingers (it won't hurt your skin). Let it sit a bit, then start rubbing it off. Second, take the darn straw off the WD-40 can and spray it straight on! The stupid straw is to get the stuff into tiny places. Jeez.
thank you for ur advice, next time imma soak em and bathe them in both and see which comes off faster
@@backyardchevy328Any thin oil will do the same. Peanut butter, cooking oil, margarine, whatever can soak into the paper will coat the adhesive. Cheaper than retail crap, works as well or better, natural and always on hand in one form or another in the kitchen. Eat the sticker when yer done if you're a freak.
haha eat the sticker lol...definately will try that in comparison to retail products
Or spray the WD-40 onto a cloth. That way, it won't go everywhere.
Common sense, people! You have it. So, use it!
MegaSeeker on his ass lmfao
He dont have time to let it sit for 5 mins but he got time to struggle for 20 mins 😂 goes back to the saying u cant fix stupid
it did take me but 4 mins to remove both of em but next time i got some to remove ill see how different it is compared to soaking em:)

The dw40 also works realy good to get the googon off.
I tried the WD40 method to remove wheel weight adhesive from inside my wheels, and it does work, but you really need to give it time to soak in before scraping. A good 3-5 minutes. Practice this patience it'll make your life a lot easier.
Yes, it works, WD40 is basically motor oil and kerosene ......
You don't have time to let Goo Gone soak for 5 minutes? You wound up spending damn near five minutes removing it.
I just used WD-40 to remove the double sided tape of a trim piece on my Ford Flex. It took a little time but I was able to totally remove the tape of off the plastic piece and the metal that attached to it. Thank You
Thanks for taking the time to share!
Thank you for watching:)
As has been mentioned elsewhere here, lighter fluid is good for removing tape residue. The magic effective component of lighter fluid is naptha, and it does work great for getting sticky tape gunk off. I would be careful using it on a painted surface and try it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't damage anything. I believe Goo One used to contain naptha, and it worked a treat at that time, but then they changed the formula to something less toxic, but also much less effective. I haven't bothered with it since.
You just saved me a lot of work! Zippo lighter fluid worked great and faster than WD-40/Goo Gone for sure. Thanks!
I love go gone. I bought it today from Canadian tire for $10 and sprayed twice on a bunch of sticker residue that was left on my cars roof top sign. It worked so well that i am in love with this product. I’ll always buy this in the future without even thinking of any other product
Awesome! This helped me remove some of that sticker adhesive on a new fridge I though I had ruined the plastic by using a different product before this trick
Thats great! So glad to hear it🙂
Soaking? Ain’t nobody got time for that...
*proceeds to scrub for 10 minutes, vs soaking and wiping right off 😂😂😂
Well "ill put soaking to the test" leonidas from 300 voice...in a follow up video.
what kind of cloth is that blue roll of? microfiber towels? doesn't look like microfiber towels.. please help
@@prajp9795 shop towels
Exactly! 😅
Try regular old charcoal lighter fluid. I tried it today and it worked very well on an old white board that had a bunch of masking tape residue on it. I used the Kingsford stuff (mineral spirits, not alcohol-based). I also tried ethanol and propanol, but they didn't work.
Can I light it. I so I'm on it
Yes, it's kerosene basically, like WD40 . But WD40 drys and leaves oil behind.....
Please tell that person to stop playing that piano in the background..
You have to leave it on. That's how the chemical reaction works
After all these years and debate over what to use to remove sticker adhesive I still can't believe no one ever mentions lighter fluid. Plain Zippo type lighter fluid will loosen it up without melting it like Goo Gone, and won't leave oil all over everything that's hard to clean off. The great thing about lighter fluid is that it is safe to use on plastic and car clear coats(won't fog plastic). Just squirt some on the label or adhesive thoroughly. Then you can either wipe of with a paper towel or if the adhesive is thicker you can use a non-marring plastic tool to scrape off excess. Clean up with soap and water. Much better than any solvent. If you've ever shopped at TJ Maxx and tried to get the stickers off any houseware products you'll thank me.
Ill definitely have to try that🙂 thank you for the tip
Lighter fluid is a solvent.
@@BummersAbound
What's your point? They're all technically solvents. Don't be a dick. My point is that Zippo type lighter fluid only contains one thing, a light petroleum distillate that will not harm a cars clear coat.
@@steves.7135Perhaps I nitpicked your statement Steve. And in doing so was being a dick. I apologize. In the spirit of helping people remove adhesive residue, I agree with you that zippo lighter fluid is a solvent. And just like isopropyl alcohol or vodka (also solvents) can be effectively used to remove adhesive residue. All 3 work on well on surfaces from auto paint to wares from TJ Maxx. I prefer the vodka because the other 2 taste horrible in a martini.
Lighter fluid, have your extinguisher ready 😂😂
I just used WD-40 to get rid of sticker residue on a 38 year old sealed music album. It worked without damaging the shrink wrap.
That's great🙂
Great video and nice comparison!
Thank you🙂 its not often i get a nice comment for this video..i really appreciate it🙂
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Thank you🙂
Try fabric softener on stickers soaked in cosmetic facial pads on the car windows and pat them in place for half the day and blade them off. It’s gentle on your rubbers if the stickers are up against them instead of risking damaging rubbers with solvents or heat guns. Just use a blade and wipe up gum with remaining leftover face pads. And clean up with auto glass cleaner. This is good for baked sun hardened stickers on vintage cars too.😀
Thank you thats a really good tip..ill try that next time i deal with hard to remove stickers🙂
He's the only one wearing gloves... And I've watched about 20 of these how to get duct tape residue off your car videos!
These younger generations are delicate and react to lifes elements.
"We don't got time for that" lol
YMMV. But I use goo gone all the time at work on the box cutters. Makes them cut like new. Also works great on the shredder if you get some tape or glue stuck in there from an envelope.
Id have to try that on the box cutters👍
Goo gone is awesome. I put it on a strong hand towel and applied to the towel and rubbed it on the old adhesive and came right off. But I have to say the paint was pre waxed which made it easy and the sun backed it at 90 degrees before the application. Happy with goo gone.
To Remove any kind of glue with no damage, use vegetable oil.
The oil gets rid of the stickiness and the remainder of the glue comes.
Ill have to try that..thank you
I just came across this video and you were correct thank you. Vegetable oil removes it safely without damaging the paint. And after I wiped it clean it had a great shine on that spot. 👍👍👍thanks again...
If you mix it with baking soda and let the oily paste sit it will do the job perfectly. Hot water also helps the final rinse/wipe
@Anthony Harris you mean olive oil?
First of all, using Goo Gone on a vertical surface is virtually impossible, you can't let it sit long enough to affect the adhesive; it works best when left to soak for awhile. I have had exceptional luck with Goof Off, both the green stripe label for superglues and the regular black stripe label for other gooey stuff in removing ancient bumper stickers and foam trim tape from my truck. Both solvents do dry up fast and it does work better when wetter. You do have to rotate the paper towel frequently to keep a fresh part against the sticky stuff, otherwise it will just tend to swirl it around and smear it back on there. I use a Blue Ridge razor blade paint scraper at a very flat angle to gently slide under the old sticker and shave it right off (No, I haven't ever scratched my paint! Just keep it very flat with even pressure on the surface and watch the blade corners. Work slow and steady), and then use the Goof Off. Use this stuff outside or with really good ventilation; the fumes will rot your brain! Doesn't hurt the paint at all. Recently used it to remove the foam trim tape from a set of plastic rain guards that finally cracked and broke off. 19 year old dead, dry, crunchy foam trim tape. That was exciting. Took longer than the old bumper stickers, but Goof Off and the scraper still worked well. I am interested to try the WD-40 and see how it compares to the Goof Off on the bumper stickers though. Thanks for the great video!
Thank Q...well said...
Where do you get all that elbow grease from?
It comes automatically when you subscribe to the channel lol.
How about taking a small piece of tissue paper, soak it, slap it on, have a smoke, come back, wipe off?
Never tried that...ill have to see how that works...thank you
@@mraaaservices Brilliant!!!
Now I need to learn to play the piano
Next time start with Brakleen. It’ll save you a ton of time! No damage to clear coat. 👍🏽
Do you have any tips on removing the ugly dealership decal from my rear car window?
I don't know what it's made of or how they stuck it on but it's awful..
A heat gun on low setting for a minute or so will soften the adhesive and make it significantly easier to remove with either method. With the right amount of heat, most stickers will peel right off, then use Googone or WD40 to clean up what little residue is left. Just be really careful with the heat if the surface is a softer plastic.
Learned that the hard way by taking off clearcoat 😅
@@nicklabonte9152 with acetone?
@@BrickBazooka with the heat gun on a section for too long it will melt the clear coat
@@nicklabonte9152 yeah me too.. heatgun on superglue on a porcelain figure, superglue and galzing plus paint did come off .. I will never do that again
Good call. I used a heat gun and an old dishtowel to remove the number stickers from my mailbox. I softened the adhesive with the gun, scraped the top layer with a plastic knife, and then rubbed out the softened adhesive with the towel. I finished it off with WD40 to clear the remaining residue.
WD-40 is amazing.
It just got off medical tape glue that’s been impossible to remove for months on my favourite WHITE jacket. Nothing worked, washing, vinegar, soaps, 100% acetone, ice bath, etc.
15 minutes and it’s ALL GONE.
WD-40 is my go to for squeaky things, seized items, or glues on clothes. 😍
Thats awesome..glad to hear it🙂
was impressed the minute i heard the music and i joined!
Thank you🙂
Hilarious! I love this! I’ve had the same success with Goo Gone!
have been using Vaseline melted to semi liquid form for years now on vehicles, melt it down and paint it on leave for a day and the gunk will scrape off with your finger nail, the key is allowing the petroleum in the Vaseline to soak in and do its job, its a winner every time. A colleague of mine likes using Diesel or Kerosene I don't like it because both stink but it does work.
I have a door that was covered with stickers. I got the stickers off but the residue was still there. I tried WD40 first and it did an okayish job. Then I tried the Goo Gone. I followed the instructions on the bottle you know spray on leave a few minutes and then wipe off. It works!! THE GOO GONE GOT RID OF EVERYTHING. If you want something to work right, follow the instructions.
Thank you so much . I wasn’t using it properly . Now since you showed us we correct way it worked like a charm
Thank you🙂
First time using it and didn't know it had to sit. I have residue sticky from the pop socket I took off on the back rubber type cell case. I wiped it on for a few minutes with no luck so I put it away. So it looks like you have to keep wiping it
Yea if its really on there good, its best to let it sit so it soaks into it, should make it easier to come off.
What kind of comparison is it if you use neither according to the instructions? Is it easier to just have us watch you scrub or do a time lapse on the soaking and wait time? Still really no answer by the end of the video.
I enjoyed the video plus the cheery music! Using WD-40 hadn't occurred to me, must give that one a shot. I will, however, remove the straw as "MegaSeeker" recommended. If you apply Goo Gone with your bare hands, make sure you wash them thoroughly afterwards (that's what I do at least). Thank you for the clip! ♥♥♥
Thank you so much, its so nice to get a nice comment on this video, feels like its been a while:)
@@backyardchevy328 You're very welcome! I always appreciate the work you guys put into your videos. I feel that there is a way of politely critiquing one's work and outright bashing it; we can choose we one we opt to utilize. ♥♥♥♥Have a Happy New Year! ♥♥♥♥
I prefer the smell of GooGone. And, to compare you must apply it on the same way.
is this safe on a black painted metal? spilled gorilla glue on something but i'm afraid if i use this it will strip the color
As long as the metal surface was prepared so the paint would stick properly, it should be ok
But will it work on fiberglass camper top?
Goo Gone is an absolutely amazing product which works so well if used as instructed on the bottle, not rushed. I just finished my bottle and ordering another one now🙂
Yes, i should of just soaked both and waited a while
U need to try good off and u will never buy goo gone again but buy the goof off fr a can tho.
First u need to let the goo gone soak for 5 mins,,this was a 4 min vid and clearly u had that time
Yea i should of soaked both same time, but maybe next time i get a chance to
Denatured alcohol is the best for lifting adhesive without damage.
WD/40 works great squirt a lil on stuck clue and spray some on paper towel rub it in and with a little old school thumb nail scraping while rubbing the WD 40 in , it comes off easily worked great on my Jeep Wrangler, I had to remove a beyond visible sun faded American Flag Decal, and replaced it with the thin Blue line Badge 👍👍very happy it worked great and the paint was not harmed one bit
Thats awesome🙂..yea i was surprised myself when i used it myself for this video
Where did you find the Abbott and Costello music for chrissake
so which one is better ??? it seems both works but in different ways i think wd 40 is better but then again i never try goo gone is first time i hear of this product... ofc i live on an island maybe we not have it... but i got a concre cement wall which had a decorative panel and it neded to be removed and now i am stuck with the yuky yellow glue and i cant seem to be able to remove it... looking for options led me to this video but if anyone can offer any advice i welcome it its truly bothering me as i cant paint till i remove the dam glue... ty for the video i learn what goo gone is winks...♥ hello to all from Puerto Rico and send sunshine ur way ♥
Doesn't the Goo gone bottle say to heat the glue first?
smh, too much work when it could have been so much easier had you followed directions
WD-40 works magically!!! Thanks man!
Ive used wd40 where nothing else would work! then I use goo gone to clean the wd40 off. Also using it with magic erasers works extra well, just be aware they are the equivalent of an extremely high grit sandpaper.
Yea u gotta be careful with the magic erasers but they do work, but it is a good combination of things u use:)
In Pennsylvania they put inspection sticker go on and they put an emission sticker on in the county I live in we don't do emissions so I took it off but I use my hands and there was sticky stuff left on the glass so I used the WD from this and rubbed it with a green scratch pad and then took a paper towel and wiped it and it came off thanks for this video!
That's awesome..thank you so much:)
So what you are saying is that it takes just as much wd-40 to remove less sticker?
Nice video with the music in it but the best thing that I use to take this kind of stuff off is charcoal fluid then clean off the residue of the charcoal fluid when you use charcoal fluid it comes right off faster than both of these
"Don't have time for that". So do you have time to set the bleach bottle down cause it says "do not drink" or nah? I mean ot looks like water & you're thirsty.
what about paint on car glass which one is better ?
I prefer goo gone for that..but best way to remove paint off of glass is using a razor blade just being careful not to cut urself with it

Does anyone know if wd40 will take away FRESH paint.
I working on a car and some of the adhesive from the decal was left behind. The paint does not have a clear coat on it yet..
How fresh is it? Its a penetrant and may soak into it without a clear coat and if its quite fresh could damage it, unless ur trying to remove the paint then it should
The music was a good choice, I watched the whole thing, I didn't want to skip to the end.
Thank you i appreciate it..its not often people like the video's music choice based on the comments
gasoline work?
if your in a hurry, it will take longer to do, I use " brasso " brass metal polish, without shaking the tin, if you just dab on the liquid and let it soak in a couple of minutes, it starts dissolving the adhesive, this is in the UK, , if you have a liquid metal polish, brasso has - " isopropyl alcohol 3-5%, ammonia 5-10%, silica powder 15-20% and oxalic acid 0-3%" not saying it works on every adhesive, because there are so many different types.
So what's the conclusion, they both remove adhesive residue?
You get a heart response, that's all...

I'm going to try the WD-40 getting sticker residue off of a car window. Some people swear by Goo Gone.
I've never had success.
I still had to scrape. And it scratched.

I’m trying to take the adhesive residue left from vinyl decals on an RC boat. I’ve tried rubbing alcohol, wd40, goo gone, and lighter fluid. It’s still there.
Have u tried laying a rubbing alcohol soaked rag on it for about 5 mins so it penetrates into it..then see if itll come off? If not try boiling some water and let it soak in that for a few mins and use vegetable oil on a rag and hopefully that works.
Backyard Chevy not yet. Trying to soak it in goo gone for about an hour. Using 400 grit sand paper and goo gone works but very slow and tedious.
I’m sure you’ve removed it by now, but a heat gun and scraper will take off adhesive residue faster than any chemical. Be careful where you use it, though.
If the instructions say wait 5 minutes and u can't wait the 5 minutes dont make a video then
Thanks
Cheap Nail polish remover worked with such ease it removed black tint window paint in my car with no effort at all no one in all the car mechanics on CZcams even suggest this simple solution
Right....so neither one works very well. Got it!
Thank you 👍
With that much elbow grease I reckon washing up liquid would have given the same results.
Goo gone is amazing if you use it right. You can't just immediately wipe at it with a paper towel that just soaks it up anyway. Let it sit on there for about 30 seconds and then use a rag or sponge, depending on surfaces
I’d say goo gone once removing car sticker and W-40 for older sticky residue idk lol both work great it seems
Can I use those to the dashboard removing the glue? Thank you
Yes theyll work good on the dashboard as well..i do prefer to use the goo gone on dashboard instead though

cool WD40 worked just fine to get some sticker label residue of a captain morgan bottle. Wiped it down with isopropyl alcohol to get the wd40 residue off after.
I used goo gone on a super glued metal part. I glued it wrong. Then I freaked out. So I bought a bottle of goo gone and applied it to the metal part. After about 30 minutes I came back and pulled it apart. No problem.
Next time use the same amount of Goo Gone as you did WD-40, pour it right on the problematic area and let it setup for a minute.
Yea definately, thank you:)
Oh so your basically saying he's playing favorites?

LoL! Don’t have time for that 😄🤣 It works beautifully!
Lol...thats awesome🙂👍
Definitive results, WD40 plus half hour to soak in. Thank you, sir!
Yea that would be a great idea...thank you🙂👍
The 5 minutes of rubbing is the same amount of time it needed to soak. 5 minutes is 5 minutes no matter if its soaking or rubbing.
I just debadged my 10 year old tundra...after removing the badges, heat up and scrape off most of the foam with plastic scraper, then soak in wd-40 for 10 minutes, scrape off the soft parts, resoak and wait 10 minutes, repeat until all gone! I was a skeptic before I tried it!
Never a fan of WD, I am now!
Thats awesome..glad it worked
Just put a Cotton soaked in olive oil and It will come easily.
Thanks for this, never thought of using WD40 sprayed on to cloth and rubbed off. No more residue brilliant.
Thats awesome:) thank you for watching and for ur support:)
the goo gone stuff worked. But you have to soak the sticker well.
Hey guy I don't got time to watch it! Which one is better? Thank you!
what is up with all the dislikes, great video! i didnt know wd40 also removes adhesive, goo gone is overpriced af and only does 1 thing
Thank you🙂 its not often i get nice comments on this video either lol...my consensus is that they hate the music or that i didnt soak em...yea definitely wd40 has a lot more uses and is a better choice to try
@@backyardchevy328 you literally didn't follow directions by letting it soak it! 5 minutes of doing nothing would have saved most of the time you spent rubbing. And if you're going to keep applying 1 you need to do it for the other.
You know how many fish tanks an average Petco has? About 80 of just fresh..multiply that by an average of 3 (1.5"×2.5") stickers per tank, so 240 stickers- I removed all that by myself in about 2 hours with Goo Gone. It works when you give it time. Plus it's safe on way more surfaces and is no where near as toxic.
