Goo Gone Vs WD-40: Adhesive Remover

my gramma naps to this music video

First, don't apply the Goo-Gone with a paper towel. It just stays in the paper towel. Pour it right onto the adhesive and smear it with your fingers (it won't hurt your skin). Let it sit a bit, then start rubbing it off. Second, take the darn straw off the WD-40 can and spray it straight on! The stupid straw is to get the stuff into tiny places. Jeez.

Don't complain about a product's performance if you're not even following the instructions

He dont have time to let it sit for 5 mins but he got time to struggle for 20 mins 😂 goes back to the saying u cant fix stupid

I tried the WD40 method to remove wheel weight adhesive from inside my wheels, and it does work, but you really need to give it time to soak in before scraping. A good 3-5 minutes. Practice this patience it'll make your life a lot easier.

The dw40 also works realy good to get the googon off.

You don't have time to let Goo Gone soak for 5 minutes? You wound up spending damn near five minutes removing it.

Soaking? Ain’t nobody got time for that... *proceeds to scrub for 10 minutes, vs soaking and wiping right off 😂😂😂

Please tell that person to stop playing that piano in the background..

I love go gone. I bought it today from Canadian tire for $10 and sprayed twice on a bunch of sticker residue that was left on my cars roof top sign. It worked so well that i am in love with this product. I’ll always buy this in the future without even thinking of any other product

I just used WD-40 to remove the double sided tape of a trim piece on my Ford Flex. It took a little time but I was able to totally remove the tape of off the plastic piece and the metal that attached to it. Thank You

As has been mentioned elsewhere here, lighter fluid is good for removing tape residue. The magic effective component of lighter fluid is naptha, and it does work great for getting sticky tape gunk off. I would be careful using it on a painted surface and try it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't damage anything. I believe Goo One used to contain naptha, and it worked a treat at that time, but then they changed the formula to something less toxic, but also much less effective. I haven't bothered with it since.

You have to leave it on. That's how the chemical reaction works

Thanks for taking the time to share!

I just used WD-40 to get rid of sticker residue on a 38 year old sealed music album. It worked without damaging the shrink wrap.

After all these years and debate over what to use to remove sticker adhesive I still can't believe no one ever mentions lighter fluid. Plain Zippo type lighter fluid will loosen it up without melting it like Goo Gone, and won't leave oil all over everything that's hard to clean off. The great thing about lighter fluid is that it is safe to use on plastic and car clear coats(won't fog plastic). Just squirt some on the label or adhesive thoroughly. Then you can either wipe of with a paper towel or if the adhesive is thicker you can use a non-marring plastic tool to scrape off excess. Clean up with soap and water. Much better than any solvent. If you've ever shopped at TJ Maxx and tried to get the stickers off any houseware products you'll thank me.

"We don't got time for that" lol

Now I need to learn to play the piano

Goo gone is awesome. I put it on a strong hand towel and applied to the towel and rubbed it on the old adhesive and came right off. But I have to say the paint was pre waxed which made it easy and the sun backed it at 90 degrees before the application. Happy with goo gone.

First of all, using Goo Gone on a vertical surface is virtually impossible, you can't let it sit long enough to affect the adhesive; it works best when left to soak for awhile. I have had exceptional luck with Goof Off, both the green stripe label for superglues and the regular black stripe label for other gooey stuff in removing ancient bumper stickers and foam trim tape from my truck. Both solvents do dry up fast and it does work better when wetter. You do have to rotate the paper towel frequently to keep a fresh part against the sticky stuff, otherwise it will just tend to swirl it around and smear it back on there. I use a Blue Ridge razor blade paint scraper at a very flat angle to gently slide under the old sticker and shave it right off (No, I haven't ever scratched my paint! Just keep it very flat with even pressure on the surface and watch the blade corners. Work slow and steady), and then use the Goof Off. Use this stuff outside or with really good ventilation; the fumes will rot your brain! Doesn't hurt the paint at all. Recently used it to remove the foam trim tape from a set of plastic rain guards that finally cracked and broke off. 19 year old dead, dry, crunchy foam trim tape. That was exciting. Took longer than the old bumper stickers, but Goof Off and the scraper still worked well. I am interested to try the WD-40 and see how it compares to the Goof Off on the bumper stickers though. Thanks for the great video!
