Removing sticker glue

Hi,

I have just removed the OEM stickers from under the hood, and I think it looks a lot better.
I used an addhesive remover and it worked well, but the glue under the sticker on the battery is resisting my addhesive remover.
Any surgestions for removing this glue?

+1 on the Goo Gone and another +1 for the Goof-off...both have worked great for me in the past. Just don't let Goof-off stay on any plastic for any amount of time...it'll melt it! Swat

goo gone, wd40, lighter fluid, paint thinner will all take it off. if it's in an area that doesn't matter much, you can even use fine sandpaper, then polish the area out afterwards.

Hi,

Thank you for all the replys.

I used the 3M Adhesive remover for the glue and it worked perfectly on all the stickers except the battery one, which was a different type of glue.
So as project98LS1 said I tried wd40 and it came right off.
Thanks for the help,
Hope this helps someone else out too,

Paul.
