Default Sticker glue

Removed a safety sticker from air filter cover that left behind glue on chrome cover. Any suggestions on getting this glue removed?

Thanks

There is a product called "Goof Off" that works great. It's available in most hardware and ome improvement stores.

Regular 'ole low cost WD-40 (that most people all ready have on hand) works as good as anything....

Believe it or not hair spray. Just wipe it down after. Also can't go wrong with the WD-40. Goof Off is great, just watch it around plastic as it can melt it.

Brake Kleen (not brake fluid) works very well and won't harm the paint.
