Removing Paper Sticker from Motor Hood?

[Sportland_Bait]

Any idea what would work best for removing a paper sticker from a motor hood. As soon as I get it started peeling off it tears and leaves the paper and glue. I think I can scrape all the paper off but I think the glue will still be there. Any suggestions that will remove the glue but not take the paint off the motor? I also don't feel like scraping with a blade, in fear of damaging the hood. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Soak it with WD40 and it should come right off!

3M makes an awesome adhesive remover. The part # is 08984. It won't harm your paint either. You will need to wax it again afterwards though.

you can also try Goop Off. They sell it at Cub, Target... just check to make sure its the stuff thats safe for paint and plastic. There was another one on the market called Goof Off and that stuff was not for paint and plastics. Maybe I have the names reversed, but just read the recommended uses. Peel as much of the paper of as posssible, then apply and let sit the paper and glue thats left. Wait and start to "scratch" at it with your finger nail. Its should start to come off. You will need to repeat a few time to get all of it off, but its cheap stuff and works for other uses around the house as well.

use a hair dryer it will peal off with almost no sticky stuff left but then use goo-gon to clean it up.

Used to have to do this from time to time in a body shop I worked at. I used to soak in acetone (wont leave the greasy film, dont leave on too long though) from any auto parts store for a buck or two then use a plastic razor blade if you can find one (parts stores will usually have this too) to scrape it off . Hair dyrers in combination with the above work too but make sure you dont use one of those professional heat guns, they can warp your plastic if your not paying attention.

I use denatured alcohol, works great on removing sticker glue.

Goo-Gone works great. You will not blieve how easy it is.

I second the WD-40 method. You probably have some already so no need to go buy something else!

Goo-Gone is great. It takes off all the sticky residue left from labels or stickers.

Looks like you got enough suggestions but for another option try Sticker Shock. Sprays on in a couple of hours peels right off. I butchered up putting on the FM bumper sticker on the back tailgait of my bronco up at International Falls and even in the freezing cold it peeled right off with this stuff.

No marks left behing at all. That was quite a sticker you could only peel little 1/8th inch peices off at a time.

Came right off one pull with this stuff.

I work for a printing company that only makes stickers, and I can tell you that there is nothing better than WD-40 for getting rid of adhesive residue.
