This is horrible, stupid advice that should be fully deleted.

This is much more effective than not being a complete dickhole.

I usually draw a bit of benzine/ gas from the tank of motorcycle for case like this. It melts the glue right away. Easy peasy.

Naphtha
Paint thinner
Lighter fluid
Gasoline
Oil
Goo gone
WD 40

Follow up any of these with alcohol and a soft cloth to remove any oily residue.

Cooking oil is great for removing tape residue. Worked perfectly when I needed to get duck tape glue off my car. And it won't damage the finish.

TS/OP -Many of the lighter fluids at a gas station are Naptha. Just buy one -just make sure it's not butane.

also, regular Goo Gone is Naptha or a similar Petroleum Distillate with Citris additive.
