Best Adhesive Residue Remover? Let's find out! Goo Gone, Goof Off, Zippo Fluid, WD40

Glad you did this review. I was going to get goof off to remove some tough scruffs, but I definitely changed my mind after this. I have pets and also have asthma, so anything with strong fumes is out of the question.

If you redo the test, I'd like to see the addition of a control (nothing), and heat-gun removal methods, as well as varying types of adhesives/labels (paper, plastic, vinyl, double-sided foam tape, etc.) Also, a variety of poor conditions such as high heat & uv exposure, hot/cold/hot/cold, buried in dirt, etc. The environmental conditions can greatly impact adhesive properties, which might better identify a real all-around winner. Even better if you can give us a side by side, or an equally timed soak or other treatment comparison. I'd push for a cost/benefit ratio analysis, but that might be asking a little too much 😅

Thanks for spending the time testing!

I loved this video!! Amazing I just tried Goo Gone! I had black Gorgilla Tape residue left over all over certain spots of my walls. And it just melted off! I was shocked

Big help. Thanks for doing the work for us

Gloves when working with petroleum distillates is always a good idea. Of note is what lighter fluid or other chemicals you tested can do to a painted surface. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the test and tips 😊

Appreciate the work you put into making this video Good tips, Thanks

Would like to see a test on a large amount of sticker adhesive over painted wood. I have tried 3 M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, let it soak as directed and used a scraper. Repeated the process several times…it took off some with much scraping. So I tried 150 grit sand paper— that didn’t work at all. I also tried the Isophyl alcohol it worked about the same as 3 M except it wasn’t oily. Any tips would be appreciated for use on painted wood.

Nice. Was the decals you remove paper based decals or plastic/vinyl based decals?

Thank u. Just what I was looking for.

Just got back from a dealership service center where they quoted $450 for a new RAM emblem, to replace the old one. I had the "R" fall off from the RAM on the passenger's side of the truck and it is not ruined or cracked. It's still serviceable, so, I'll go out and get some goo gone and double-sided adhesive to remount it, saving myself about $435! Thanks.

thank you. I need some glue remover for my crafting and was surprised to see that WD 40 is the best.

Excellent explanation. Thank you

Hi there interesting video. Thanks. Would this work on glue backed stickers on record labels ? Thanks

Thanks, this helped me!

Watched a lot of videos and tried so many products to remove window tint glue after removal. Turned out 99% rubbing alcohol was not only the cheapest (£7.99/L), but worked the best by far. Still a lot of elbow grease, but it was far more effective, combined with a spray bottle for the alcohol, scour pad and then microfibre cloths.

This was very informative. I’m not sure how we the audience were supposed to see the efficacy of the different products on the plastic container when you had left the original label for the container inside. I found it hard to see how well they worked when all I could see was the image of candy that was printed on the paper packaging inside the container. I don’t mean to be rude but if you do any more tests like this in a video, please take the label out of the container first 🙂

What about rubbing alcohol residue on vinyl laminate floors

Great vid!
