After removing decals off your paint, how do you get off the glue residue without harming the paint

Probably rubbing alcohol or windex. I have used alcohol before.

Goo-Gone or the cheaper brand Goof-Off will work.

The stuff will dry the paint, so be sure to wash her up afterwards and get some wax on the car.

I use Ronsonol lighter fluid, works great and does not damage the paint at all.

Don't use Goof Off, that **** is stronger than turpentine.
