Default glue removal left from dealer name

The vinyl letters the dealers use, I got the white letters off but the glue remains still showing the impressions. Any product I can use to remove the glue without damage to the paint ?
Thanks.

yep...goo gone should take care of this with no paint issues. just spray some on the area and let it sit a couple minutes and then wipe it off with a towel and you are good to go.

You can try heating up the glue with a hair dryer or a heat gun (not tooo hot!) then work the glue off with your fingers

I've used both goo gone and wd-40. I used goo gone for a bumber sticker and wd-40 for a sticker on my window. The goo gone I had to bust out a razor blade and tried super hard to get it off with out getting the paint. It came off fine when I used the razor blade but you might get at the paint a little.

Goo Gone got my CARMAX stickers off the back easy. Goo Gone did nothing for the mirror sticker which had to be done with a razor blade. Good thing the window's don't scratch easy in cars.
