Sticker residue

I removed the dealership sticker from my Mini, but it left some of the sticky residue. What is the best way to get it off safely? The best product?...

I use goo-gone to remove any sticky stuff. Just dab a little on a soft cloth and rub gently.

What dealership is putting dealer stickers on MINI's???

i had the same problem. they put a seatbelt/airbag sticker on the dash...this easily comes off with peanut butter. the smooth kind. NOT crunchy!

just but a little on your fingertip and rub until it comes off. just put a paper towel on the mat below so you don't smear peanut butter on your new car!

goo gone works too but it's pretty smelly. have fun!

Rubbing alcohol (isopropol alcohol) works fine as well.

The only thing about peanut butter that works is the vegetable oil in the peanut butter. Just use vegetable oil for quick clean up if you must use the peanut butter method. . .

Not sure if you can get this is the USA, but everyone here for any sticker stuff uses Eucalyptus oilIts also good if you have a cold, just put some on a tissue or hankerchief and sniff, clears you nose passages very well.

Thanks everyone. I'll go try it out.
