Removing goo gone

I've been experimenting with this (and make sure its Goo Gone and not Goof Off which will take off more than just adhesive) and suggest the following:

1. Don't use much Goo Gone - a dampened Q tip ought to be enough

2. You may still have a little adhesive on the canopy rather than Goo Gone per se. It isn't terrifically potent (which is a good thing) so a second application and gentle rubbing may be required.

3. Once the adhesive is gone, finishing up with a little detergent (dishwashing liquid, 409, etc.) and water, again applied with the Q tip ought to take care of the Goo Gone itself.

I used Goo gone too on a 1/72nd JU52 and I'm still trying to clean it off of the clear parts. The problem is, my plane is painted and I do'nt want to lose the paint.

I haven't used it on a model, but on other things that I have used Goo Gone on I usually spray some Windex over the area on which I used the Goo Gone and wipe it off. It seems to do a decent job removing any residue left by the Goo Gone.

Thanks all for the advise. As a matter of fact I used goo gone because somebody in the forum recommend that to remove tape residues on the canopies but.....well you know the results. Does anybody has a better suggestion to remove residues.

Thanks again

If you want the perfect product for this and you are in the US, look for a product called Bestine. There is nothing better. It is in a grey,black and red can.

It will not lift paint, craze plastic, etc..

I use it to remove patterns after I 77 them down to a surface.

One more thing.........DON"T use DA over existing paint. It will eat it. Especially acrylics.

We use Goo Gone a lot in my work (commercial graphics, signs, stick on decals and such) and I absolutely hate the stuff!!!

Try using denatured alcohol. It won't harm the plastic and, in fact, that's what I use as a final clean prep before painting.

I have cleaned up Goo Gone on other surfaces before Using 409 or other Grease Kitchen Cleaner (Like Simple Green, Windows Multi Surface these may work too)
MIght be woorth a try if you are careful not to mess the paint.

I would try successive washes with straight rubbing alcohol as a next step. Other than that, you might try contacting the manufcturer, let them know the situation, and see if they have a suggestion.
