What can I used to take off residue left behind from a adhesive on spoiler? I've been trying to take it off with sand paper and water, electrocleaner, and plain rubbing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried rubbing with gas. Took it right off by rubbing with a rag.

+1 GooBeGone is great!!

Alternatives are WD-40 or plain Vinegar.

Gasoline can harm the painted finish.

Not if you let it soak for 5 or 10 minutes.
