Gunk under pillion seat
I know there have been threads on this before - but most were about the plastic strip
being there under the pillion seat.
Mine's more about it looks like someone already tore that plastic away and only left the gunky glue,
which is now almost 23 years old.
So, Bug and Tar? WD-40? Still use a hair dryer anyway along with the stuff I just mentioned ?
Any tips would be great.
Thanks

Have your personally used Goo-Gone- ???
I guess where I'm at is I'm trying to learn a proven method
before I ruin my fender.
Yeah, when I was 20, I would run to my shelf and try anything LOL
30 years later I've learned to ask first.
Thanks

yes. Dab it on with a microfiber and it will come off easily.

Okay, thanks, I appreciate it... I have some similar stuff on the shelf
but I'm going to go buy a bottle of fresh Goo-Gone just the same.

Don't confuse Goo-Gone with Goof-off
Goof-off is acetone based, and can harm paint. I have used it on stubborn tar on chrome pipes with good results... but I use it sparingly.
Goo-Gone won't harm paint, but can harm rubber. Use it judiciously, don't just spray it all over... I have used it as vtbigdog has suggested. Put it on an old microfiber towel and dab it on the adhesive.
Isopropyl alcohol will also remove adhesives on paint, but too much for too long may harm some paints, like latex or water based paints.
Good luck and let us know how it goes....

I was always the one that ignored the "test and inconspicuous spot" warning and went straight for
the "slather it in complete view and ruin" method. Now I know better... Ha and my girl tells me I'll never learn
Thanks again guys and I'll keep you posted.
