I've used both mineral spirit and just plain old water in the past and both worked fine. You can order goo gone online if you cant find it locally.

you should be able to find goo gone at an local independent hardware store, but if you have to support corporate America, it should be readily available at any Loew's or Home Depot...

I bought some of this stuff about 10 years ago when it was in a spray can at Pep Boys and it works amazingly well.
