Default need some suggestions

I took the lariat pinstripe stickers off my truck and there is still some of that sticky residue left. What would take that off without damaging the paint?

Well I'll say paint thinner. Before ya say I don't think so. I used it on some painting I did and did NOTHING LOL. Had to use knife to scrap it off. It was in plastic. I even let it soak for awhile. So I do t think it would hurt to put it on a cloth and run the adhesive residue. That is just my .02. From my experience. Then again it could have been cheap paint thinner it at lowes lol. Just an idea.

Goo gone and a rag is about the easiest way to do it
