Carb and Choke cleaner works best for removing sticky gummy stuff. Doesn't that also eat into the finish? Seems to me like it would be pretty harsh on the clear coat and paint. This truck having been garaged its whole life, still has its clear coat and shinyness fully in tact. One of those great find, bought it from the original owner who was a retired engineer and able to keep it up perfectly kind of deals. Zero fading, wash out or other defects. Sherri and I are way blessed to have found this truck and large 5th wheel all together in one package for the same amount of money we sold our Avalanche and 25 foot light trailer for. Starting tomorrow, truck and trailer are our home for 5 or 6 weeks other than my hospital stay of about one week. A big THANK YOU to all who have offered constructive advice and ideas. I really want to take great care of this truck and drive it for a long, long time.

It never has when I have used it. I have used it several times to get the film left behind by the decal stickers on vehicles, I tried WD40, goo gone, acetone, and none of them come close to carb and choke cleaner. I never saw any adverse affects to the paint because of it. YMMV

If I ruin the pain, that will give me an excuse to paint the whole thing bright yellow  JUST KIDDING! Looked great on my Avalanche, but would not look so good on so large a truck.

Kerosene or diesel work great. Or mineral spirits. Nothing real strong.

listen to dave,piss on it.did you try bug and tar remover
finger nail polish remover is 90% acetone I have not tried anything, yet. Symptoms like restless leg syndrome etc. had me up and down most of the night so I am just now getting rolling here at 8:15. I plan to try the WD-40 then Dawn soap ideas first, but if I need to resort to the pee on it I will be glad that I have a 'hose' that will reach up there without me having to climb up  AA goin to set you straight, you bragging on that ole thang again..
