OK - so this isn't earth shaking and I'm sure most of you know this, but apparently I've been in the dark lo these many years.
While attempting to remove an annoying label from my Bighorn (no, not a required safety label - in this case the annoying advertising label for Tight Trun Technology (Beware of Imitations! ... or some such nonsense), I found that Heartland was kind enough to use a glue that was nearly impossible to get off. I tried it all ... olive oil, warm water, heating with a hair dryer, alcohol ... nothing would touch this junk. As I was mumbling some very colorful descriptions of my experience, my neighbor wandered over and asked if I ever tried Goo Gone. I figured what the heck - can't hurt. So, following directions, I put this stuff on a rag (a little goes a long way), dabbed it all over the glue spot, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then took the edge of a credit card and just pushed the goop into a blob. I wiped it off with a soft cloth, hit it with lots of water, dried it and viola! Glue gone. I then hit it with a generous coat of Carnauba wax and it is as if the ugly factory sticker never existed. My coach is once again pristine, as nature intended ...
Anyway, the purpose of this post is just to let you know about this little gem of a product that really handles a common problem well.
