Goo Gone Vs WD-40: Adhesive Remover 

my gramma naps to this music video

First, don't apply the Goo-Gone with a paper towel. It just stays in the paper towel. Pour it right onto the adhesive and smear it with your fingers (it won't hurt your skin). Let it sit a bit, then start rubbing it off. Second, take the darn straw off the WD-40 can and spray it straight on! The stupid straw is to get the stuff into tiny places. Jeez.

Don't complain about a product's performance if you're not even following the instructions

He dont have time to let it sit for 5 mins but he got time to struggle for 20 mins 😂 goes back to the saying u cant fix stupid

I tried the WD40 method to remove wheel weight adhesive from inside my wheels, and it does work, but you really need to give it time to soak in before scraping. A good 3-5 minutes. Practice this patience it'll make your life a lot easier.

The dw40 also works realy good to get the googon off.

I just used WD-40 to remove the double sided tape of a trim piece on my Ford Flex. It took a little time but I was able to totally remove the tape of off the plastic piece and the metal that attached to it. Thank You

Thanks for taking the time to share!

I love go gone. I bought it today from Canadian tire for $10 and sprayed twice on a bunch of sticker residue that was left on my cars roof top sign. It worked so well that i am in love with this product. I’ll always buy this in the future without even thinking of any other product

You don't have time to let Goo Gone soak for 5 minutes? You wound up spending damn near five minutes removing it.

Soaking? Ain’t nobody got time for that... *proceeds to scrub for 10 minutes, vs soaking and wiping right off 😂😂😂

I just used WD-40 to get rid of sticker residue on a 38 year old sealed music album. It worked without damaging the shrink wrap.

As has been mentioned elsewhere here, lighter fluid is good for removing tape residue. The magic effective component of lighter fluid is naptha, and it does work great for getting sticky tape gunk off. I would be careful using it on a painted surface and try it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't damage anything. I believe Goo One used to contain naptha, and it worked a treat at that time, but then they changed the formula to something less toxic, but also much less effective. I haven't bothered with it since.

You have to leave it on. That's how the chemical reaction works

Awesome! This helped me remove some of that sticker adhesive on a new fridge I though I had ruined the plastic by using a different product before this trick

"We don't got time for that" lol

Please tell that person to stop playing that piano in the background..

I have a door that was covered with stickers. I got the stickers off but the residue was still there. I tried WD40 first and it did an okayish job. Then I tried the Goo Gone. I followed the instructions on the bottle you know spray on leave a few minutes and then wipe off. It works!! THE GOO GONE GOT RID OF EVERYTHING. If you want something to work right, follow the instructions.

He's the only one wearing gloves... And I've watched about 20 of these how to get duct tape residue off your car videos!

After all these years and debate over what to use to remove sticker adhesive I still can't believe no one ever mentions lighter fluid. Plain Zippo type lighter fluid will loosen it up without melting it like Goo Gone, and won't leave oil all over everything that's hard to clean off. The great thing about lighter fluid is that it is safe to use on plastic and car clear coats(won't fog plastic). Just squirt some on the label or adhesive thoroughly. Then you can either wipe of with a paper towel or if the adhesive is thicker you can use a non-marring plastic tool to scrape off excess. Clean up with soap and water. Much better than any solvent. If you've ever shopped at TJ Maxx and tried to get the stickers off any houseware products you'll thank me.

Now I need to learn to play the piano

have been using Vaseline melted to semi liquid form for years now on vehicles, melt it down and paint it on leave for a day and the gunk will scrape off with your finger nail, the key is allowing the petroleum in the Vaseline to soak in and do its job, its a winner every time. A colleague of mine likes using Diesel or Kerosene I don't like it because both stink but it does work.

Great video and nice comparison!

Goo gone is awesome. I put it on a strong hand towel and applied to the towel and rubbed it on the old adhesive and came right off. But I have to say the paint was pre waxed which made it easy and the sun backed it at 90 degrees before the application. Happy with goo gone.

I enjoyed the video plus the cheery music! Using WD-40 hadn't occurred to me, must give that one a shot. I will, however, remove the straw as "MegaSeeker" recommended. If you apply Goo Gone with your bare hands, make sure you wash them thoroughly afterwards (that's what I do at least). Thank you for the clip! ♥♥♥

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks for posting.

To Remove any kind of glue with no damage, use vegetable oil. The oil gets rid of the stickiness and the remainder of the glue comes.

Try regular old charcoal lighter fluid. I tried it today and it worked very well on an old white board that had a bunch of masking tape residue on it. I used the Kingsford stuff (mineral spirits, not alcohol-based). I also tried ethanol and propanol, but they didn't work.

Next time start with Brakleen. It’ll save you a ton of time! No damage to clear coat. 👍🏽

Try fabric softener on stickers soaked in cosmetic facial pads on the car windows and pat them in place for half the day and blade them off. It’s gentle on your rubbers if the stickers are up against them instead of risking damaging rubbers with solvents or heat guns. Just use a blade and wipe up gum with remaining leftover face pads. And clean up with auto glass cleaner. This is good for baked sun hardened stickers on vintage cars too.😀

Goo Gone is an absolutely amazing product which works so well if used as instructed on the bottle, not rushed. I just finished my bottle and ordering another one now🙂

YMMV. But I use goo gone all the time at work on the box cutters. Makes them cut like new. Also works great on the shredder if you get some tape or glue stuck in there from an envelope.

Thank you so much . I wasn’t using it properly . Now since you showed us we correct way it worked like a charm

First of all, using Goo Gone on a vertical surface is virtually impossible, you can't let it sit long enough to affect the adhesive; it works best when left to soak for awhile. I have had exceptional luck with Goof Off, both the green stripe label for superglues and the regular black stripe label for other gooey stuff in removing ancient bumper stickers and foam trim tape from my truck. Both solvents do dry up fast and it does work better when wetter. You do have to rotate the paper towel frequently to keep a fresh part against the sticky stuff, otherwise it will just tend to swirl it around and smear it back on there. I use a Blue Ridge razor blade paint scraper at a very flat angle to gently slide under the old sticker and shave it right off (No, I haven't ever scratched my paint! Just keep it very flat with even pressure on the surface and watch the blade corners. Work slow and steady), and then use the Goof Off. Use this stuff outside or with really good ventilation; the fumes will rot your brain! Doesn't hurt the paint at all. Recently used it to remove the foam trim tape from a set of plastic rain guards that finally cracked and broke off. 19 year old dead, dry, crunchy foam trim tape. That was exciting. Took longer than the old bumper stickers, but Goof Off and the scraper still worked well. I am interested to try the WD-40 and see how it compares to the Goof Off on the bumper stickers though. Thanks for the great video!

WD-40 is amazing. It just got off medical tape glue that’s been impossible to remove for months on my favourite WHITE jacket. Nothing worked, washing, vinegar, soaps, 100% acetone, ice bath, etc. 15 minutes and it’s ALL GONE. WD-40 is my go to for squeaky things, seized items, or glues on clothes. 😍

I prefer the smell of GooGone. And, to compare you must apply it on the same way.

Hilarious! I love this! I’ve had the same success with Goo Gone!

A heat gun on low setting for a minute or so will soften the adhesive and make it significantly easier to remove with either method. With the right amount of heat, most stickers will peel right off, then use Googone or WD40 to clean up what little residue is left. Just be really careful with the heat if the surface is a softer plastic.

was impressed the minute i heard the music and i joined!

Denatured alcohol is the best for lifting adhesive without damage.

You didn't have time to wait 5 minutes but it took you 5 minutes anyway lol

Goo gone, we don't got time for that. 😂

WD/40 works great squirt a lil on stuck clue and spray some on paper towel rub it in and with a little old school thumb nail scraping while rubbing the WD 40 in , it comes off easily worked great on my Jeep Wrangler, I had to remove a beyond visible sun faded American Flag Decal, and replaced it with the thin Blue line Badge 👍👍very happy it worked great and the paint was not harmed one bit

Ya know what, I gotta know the track and composer's name. This is a different kind of swag. 🤣 Great vid.

smh, too much work when it could have been so much easier had you followed directions

WD always .

First u need to let the goo gone soak for 5 mins,,this was a 4 min vid and clearly u had that time

if your in a hurry, it will take longer to do, I use " brasso " brass metal polish, without shaking the tin, if you just dab on the liquid and let it soak in a couple of minutes, it starts dissolving the adhesive, this is in the UK, , if you have a liquid metal polish, brasso has - " isopropyl alcohol 3-5%, ammonia 5-10%, silica powder 15-20% and oxalic acid 0-3%" not saying it works on every adhesive, because there are so many different types.

In Pennsylvania they put inspection sticker go on and they put an emission sticker on in the county I live in we don't do emissions so I took it off but I use my hands and there was sticky stuff left on the glass so I used the WD from this and rubbed it with a green scratch pad and then took a paper towel and wiped it and it came off thanks for this video!

What kind of comparison is it if you use neither according to the instructions? Is it easier to just have us watch you scrub or do a time lapse on the soaking and wait time? Still really no answer by the end of the video.

Nice video with the music in it but the best thing that I use to take this kind of stuff off is charcoal fluid then clean off the residue of the charcoal fluid when you use charcoal fluid it comes right off faster than both of these

Great video you wouldn't happen to know the name of that piano piece? Thanks, Dave

WD-40 works magically!!! Thanks man!

The music was a good choice, I watched the whole thing, I didn't want to skip to the end.

Ive used wd40 where nothing else would work! then I use goo gone to clean the wd40 off. Also using it with magic erasers works extra well, just be aware they are the equivalent of an extremely high grit sandpaper.

Music was the best part of this video!

I’d say goo gone once removing car sticker and W-40 for older sticky residue idk lol both work great it seems

Thanks for this, never thought of using WD40 sprayed on to cloth and rubbed off. No more residue brilliant.

Lmaoooo @ we don’t got time for that

I'm jamming to this song 😎

Right....so neither one works very well. Got it!

so which one is better ??? it seems both works but in different ways i think wd 40 is better but then again i never try goo gone is first time i hear of this product... ofc i live on an island maybe we not have it... but i got a concre cement wall which had a decorative panel and it neded to be removed and now i am stuck with the yuky yellow glue and i cant seem to be able to remove it... looking for options led me to this video but if anyone can offer any advice i welcome it its truly bothering me as i cant paint till i remove the dam glue... ty for the video i learn what goo gone is winks...♥ hello to all from Puerto Rico and send sunshine ur way ♥

Dude you’re awesome. Thank you very much

I used goo gone on a super glued metal part. I glued it wrong. Then I freaked out. So I bought a bottle of goo gone and applied it to the metal part. After about 30 minutes I came back and pulled it apart. No problem.

First time using it and didn't know it had to sit. I have residue sticky from the pop socket I took off on the back rubber type cell case. I wiped it on for a few minutes with no luck so I put it away. So it looks like you have to keep wiping it

I did that to my silver infinity and it took the gloss in the area I cleaned

Do you have any tips on removing the ugly dealership decal from my rear car window? I don't know what it's made of or how they stuck it on but it's awful..

Well first off I use both, but I do use good gone most of the time. it works great! and just a little better than WD-40.

With WD-40 you really should allow it a few minutes to soak in, so that it has time to penetrate the adhesive. If you had have done, it would have come off much easier and quicker.

Cheap Nail polish remover worked with such ease it removed black tint window paint in my car with no effort at all no one in all the car mechanics on RU-vid even suggest this simple solution

But will it work on fiberglass camper top?

The 5 minutes of rubbing is the same amount of time it needed to soak. 5 minutes is 5 minutes no matter if its soaking or rubbing.

Now that was helpful thanks

Definitive results, WD40 plus half hour to soak in. Thank you, sir!

Where did you find the Abbott and Costello music for chrissake

Doesn't the Goo gone bottle say to heat the glue first?

Hey guy I don't got time to watch it! Which one is better? Thank you!

cool WD40 worked just fine to get some sticker label residue of a captain morgan bottle. Wiped it down with isopropyl alcohol to get the wd40 residue off after.

WD-40 worked well with some pressure. Thanks.

"Let's not follow instructions" okayyy

Thank you 👍

I just debadged my 10 year old tundra...after removing the badges, heat up and scrape off most of the foam with plastic scraper, then soak in wd-40 for 10 minutes, scrape off the soft parts, resoak and wait 10 minutes, repeat until all gone! I was a skeptic before I tried it! Never a fan of WD, I am now!

Remember that WD 40 can dull out/age out colored car parts if you leave it on and it reacts with sunlight. The color will fade and they become bristle aswell in some cases. Always wash it of if you ever use it on plastic or painted parts.

Yup, used wd40 and a clean razorblade to take a sticker off my windshield, and a stupid dealership promo bumper sticker off of my car. Worked great. Left an oil residue, but eventually the car washes and rainfall washed it out. It's perfect.

the goo gone stuff worked. But you have to soak the sticker well.

Goo gone is amazing if you use it right. You can't just immediately wipe at it with a paper towel that just soaks it up anyway. Let it sit on there for about 30 seconds and then use a rag or sponge, depending on surfaces

is this safe on a black painted metal? spilled gorilla glue on something but i'm afraid if i use this it will strip the color

what is up with all the dislikes, great video! i didnt know wd40 also removes adhesive, goo gone is overpriced af and only does 1 thing

HAD OLD TAPE ADHESIVE ON MY LAW ENFORC SHIRT, THIS STUFF TOOK IT RIGHT OFF!!

How did you get that off and play piano at he same time, did you play with your toes, I can just picture it, very clever.

Where do you get all that elbow grease from?

So what you are saying is that it takes just as much wd-40 to remove less sticker?

Make a paste of baking soda and vegetable oil, best solution for sticker residue

Next time use the same amount of Goo Gone as you did WD-40, pour it right on the problematic area and let it setup for a minute.

"Don't put stickers on your car. Know that they say I'm dumb" Daniel Tosh

Good luck w ur clear coat after using wd40

With that much elbow grease I reckon washing up liquid would have given the same results.

Thanks

"Don't have time for that". So do you have time to set the bleach bottle down cause it says "do not drink" or nah? I mean ot looks like water & you're thirsty.

Don’t worry we’ll buff out those scratches- SpongeBob.
