Such as on a high gloss frame or wheels. Goo gone destroys a high gloss finish. What else?
I’ve had decent results with Invisible Glass cleaner. Give it a shot.
Use a hair dryer and peel/rub it off. Takes awhile but does not ruin finish.
i worked at a car wrap business, we used rubbing alcohol
.
Citrus Degreaser
.
WD-40 or GooGone. Both are safe on the clear coat finish and do the job fast.
A product called Goo Off. http://www.goofoffstainremover.com/
+1 for WD-40. Works like a charm.
hey thierry64…ever though about doing wraps for bicycles? People could change the colour/patern of their bike whenever they felt the need.
yes i have, done it, very difficult,

Try using mineral spirits. You can find it at any hardware store and is really easy on the finish.
lighter fluid (the stuff for zippo, not pressurized butane) works a treat.
cheers!

** Showroom Polish and Protectant** works really well. Showroom can usually be found at any bike shop. The stuff is awesome. Polishes and gets rid of everything, to include goo and sticker residue. It’s a 2 in 1 IMO.
If your really worried about damaging the finish you can also use vegetable oil.
3-In-One oil
The best chain lube and it also works well for removing glue residue.
2nd for Goof-off. Stuff works great.

Unfortunately, everything we use that takes off tack will have abrasive tendencies. I have tried everything but this next suggestion came to me by total surprise. I was cleaning my glass-top stove one day and BOOM; there it was. I was using a “Magic Eraser” & “Stove-top-polish.” This stuff works on cars and clear coats with minimal abrasion. The reason is that this stuff is a polish and a cutter all in one. I started using this stuff on touch-ups on my kayaks, bikes, cars and surf boards. It takes a tad-bit-more work, but it comes with less consequence. Enjoy… (I still use a Lowes brand citrus cleaner for my quick-clean up jobs and bust out the stove-top stuff for things like stickers, decals and finicky work.)
Any of the suggested solvents will work but before I resort to those, I use any strong tape like packing tape and use it like you would to remove lint off clothing. The adhesive on the tape will stick to the stuff on surface better than the surface you are trying to remove from and will pull off without any damage whatsoever. Finish off with a solvent rub down and it will be residue free. By the way it is way faster to do it this way too.
Eucalyptus oil.
peanut butter works great and is all natural. use the creamy kind and not the crunchy kind.
