I used 3m adhesive remover comes in a black can thingy works wonders

I'd think to goo gone would be to strong for that fresh of paint

if goo gone is anthing like goof off.. then yea that @!#$ will strip the clear right off.. is the 3m adhesive remover safe for paint? i also heard about gasoline and a rag? i was gonna try dish soap also ill try somethings tomorrow anything else?.. also the told me at the shop to bring it back in 2 weeks they would polish and buff it so do u think that will take out the swirls i put in the damn thing

go to the local detail shop and ask for a tar and wax remover...

it should def help take it off, and it will not hurt the paint...

just had a car in yesterday with gum all over the the inside fender wells...

if that doesnt work...you can try laquer thinner...spray it on a shop towel and wipe the area where the gum is...just dont rub too hard because it will scratch the hell out of the paint...but like you said if its gonna need buffed...then go ahead and rub...and just make sure you go over it real well with the beffer and compound...

wish i was closer to help ya out... email me or im me if ya need some help...

goof off is some harsh @!#$.. ive used it before on a lil thing of paint.. if u rub with goof off its like brake fluid it will strip the paint as soon as u start rubbing on it. i used it before and it made a spot white on my car and dulled spots

go to a paint store and get some laquer thinner.. it'll probably come right off but I wouldnt scrub real hard with it.. i dunno, thats what i would try b/c goo gone will take days.
