Default Remnants from tape stripes won't come off?

I decided to remove the tape stripes on the side of my car. We used a hair dryer to heat them up and pulled them off. It left behind a bit of the glue behind. We have tried all we have...we even went and got goo gone....Any suggestions?

Try Goo-Gone. It's make to do just what you need it for. Take the sticky stuff off.

An orbital buffer will get it out.

I had rain guards above my windows when I bought it, previous owner was a smoker. In my experience, Goo Gone SUCKED on the double-sided 3M tape that held them on. The one side took lots of elbow grease, nearly an entire small bottle, and still took over an hour.

On the remaining side I used something from Advanced Auto generically called "Sticker and Label Remover". It took about 5 minutes...
