No I havent tride goo gone on chrome, but if u use a hair dryer to heat up the glue, it will come off relatively easy. Thats how I deal with stickers glue on my bike.

WD-40 works fine and is safe for paint. Just wash with soapy water and wax afterwards.

Yup - Naptha (lighter fluid). Comes off slick as can be.

Put some brake cleaner on a rag and lay it on the glue for a few minutes. It will soften up the glue and you will be able to wipe it right off.
