Watched a lot of videos and tried so many products to remove window tint glue after removal. Turned out 99% rubbing alcohol was not only the cheapest (£7.99/L), but worked the best by far. Still a lot of elbow grease, but it was far more effective, combined with a spray bottle for the alcohol, scour pad and then microfibre cloths.
Glad you did this review. I was going to get goof off to remove some tough scruffs, but I definitely changed my mind after this. I have pets and also have asthma, so anything with strong fumes is out of the question.
If you redo the test, I'd like to see the addition of a control (nothing), and heat-gun removal methods, as well as varying types of adhesives/labels (paper, plastic, vinyl, double-sided foam tape, etc.) Also, a variety of poor conditions such as high heat & uv exposure, hot/cold/hot/cold, buried in dirt, etc. The environmental conditions can greatly impact adhesive properties, which might better identify a real all-around winner. Even better if you can give us a side by side, or an equally timed soak or other treatment comparison. I'd push for a cost/benefit ratio analysis, but that might be asking a little too much 😅
I loved this video!! Amazing I just tried Goo Gone! I had black Gorgilla Tape residue left over all over certain spots of my walls. And it just melted off! I was shocked
I used black gorilla duct tape to quick fix a leak in my vans moon roof and needles to say, when it started leaking again it was time to bite the bullet and do it the right way. Tons of sticky residue after removing the tape in the sun! Used Goo-Gone with a rag and then a flathead screwdriver (might try a butterknife tmro) wrapped in the rag to scrape at the tough spots after wiping the majority off with the rag only. Worked pretty damn good actually. Wiped any residue with paper towel and dish soapy water. Might try the zippo fluid tmro on any residual adhesive... the job continues!
Just got back from a dealership service center where they quoted $450 for a new RAM emblem, to replace the old one. I had the "R" fall off from the RAM on the passenger's side of the truck and it is not ruined or cracked. It's still serviceable, so, I'll go out and get some goo gone and double-sided adhesive to remount it, saving myself about $435! Thanks.
I would try anoter dealer. I asked at my local dealer and they wanted half that much. Often when you receive a really huge estimate it is because the shop doesn't want to offer the service you have requested.
Gloves when working with petroleum distillates is always a good idea. Of note is what lighter fluid or other chemicals you tested can do to a painted surface. Thanks for the video.
Great video! I have been having great luck with WD-40 with just about everything. Yes, plastic is a little annoying, but the Goo products seem to just be expensive in my book.
I just ordered a product that is supposed to be better than goo gone and goof offf, 3M General purpose adhesive cleaner. Could be something for you to look at as well.
This was very informative. I’m not sure how we the audience were supposed to see the efficacy of the different products on the plastic container when you had left the original label for the container inside. I found it hard to see how well they worked when all I could see was the image of candy that was printed on the paper packaging inside the container. I don’t mean to be rude but if you do any more tests like this in a video, please take the label out of the container first 🙂
Zippo = naptha or white gas or Coleman stove fuel, great general mild solvent; mineral spirits or paint thinner is even cheaper and evaporates more slowly. Zippo is likely cheaper, so who cares if it's not re-labeled as an adhesive remover? Should be #1, but then paint thinner and naptha are 1/10 the price (naptha mysteriously is in scarce supply in Colorado, 10/2022).
Upcycled Life did a test on food jars. She let soak in hot soapy (Dawn) water with a 1/4 Cup white vinegar. Some she used SOS pads on the jars. Other stubborn adhesives she used a heat gun over the labels.
Hope you can help! Here's a situation: the film protection on Marvin fiberglass sliding door frame was left on and did not removed after installation. It has been 3 years and film and glue got completely dry out on the frame and very hard to remove without damage the frame. Have tried Goo Gone etc. any advice? Thank you very much!
Appreciate your attempt at comedy. You get a 5 on a scale of 10 for it. As to the "labels" you are removing. You should use real products with the manufacturers labels. So any "watchers". The reason should be obvious.
I used goof off to remove industrial strength adhesive sealant from my motorcycle headlight lens. What a catastrophe. It clouded the inside of the lens so bad that it'll have to be replaced. Nothing I've tried works. Any help out there someone can give me?
Would like to see a test on a large amount of sticker adhesive over painted wood. I have tried 3 M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, let it soak as directed and used a scraper. Repeated the process several times…it took off some with much scraping. So I tried 150 grit sand paper- that didn’t work at all. I also tried the Isophyl alcohol it worked about the same as 3 M except it wasn’t oily. Any tips would be appreciated for use on painted wood.
Your test was nothing compared to the decals that were on my camper shell for 15-20 years.I got most of the stickers off with a hair dryer, then tried to get the glue off with Goo Gone, WD-40, vinegar, carnauba wax, vegetable oil, and finally paint thinner. Nothing worked. Find a sticker that has been on a car for a few years in the sun and then do your tests.
Lol, people like Pepsi too. Maybe use an original saying instead of the master's "very impressive". Your voice sounds almost like an old timey mid Atlantic accent, maybe play to that. Although review bruh does that one.
Yeah, except that Project Farm doesn't have this test. And his way of testing is great, everybody should be testing things like he does. I'm happy to see more channels following his lead with different tests that he doesn't cover than whatever people come up with that is useless, boring, not objective, and usually doesn't test things properly. This guy is doing a great job!
Find another job brother 😜 like this has nothing to do with like automotive adhesive for Christ sakes dude the stickers you're removing will come off with water

We always used lighter fluid to remove sticker residue. It’s awesome!
Thanks for spending the time testing!

2 years late but here. Have my like and comment!
Most effective adhesive remover I've used on almost every surface is Pam cooking spray. It's also good for use to condition leather and metal.
Gloves when working with petroleum distillates is always a good idea. Of note is what lighter fluid or other chemicals you tested can do to a painted surface. Thanks for the video.
baking soda, dawn dish soap, warm water. Soak and they come right off. simple. no chemicals. hardly any work.
This will help me get the adhesive off of my car windshield. I'm going to use the goo gone #thanks 💯💪🏿
thank you. I need some glue remover for my crafting and was surprised to see that WD 40 is the best.
Great video! I have been having great luck with WD-40 with just about everything. Yes, plastic is a little annoying, but the Goo products seem to just be expensive in my book.
If Zippo works just as well as Goo Gone then it should win as it has multi uses.
If goo gone is flammable then it's even 😂
Big help. Thanks for doing the work for us
The problem with the duct tape is that it's a name brand one. Get an off brand and it'll leave behind plenty of adhesive.
Yes, different tapes use different formulations.
I just ordered a product that is supposed to be better than goo gone and goof offf, 3M General purpose adhesive cleaner. Could be something for you to look at as well.
Goo Gone the best choice

I have stickers for non slip in my tub- tried so hard what do U suggest> ty great video
This was great. Have you tried it over labels/'plastic-like paper' (posters)?
Very well presented, thank you.
I think duct tape takes many months or even a year or two to leave thick hardened gunk.
Appreciate the work you put into making this video
Good tips, Thanks
Thank u. Just what I was looking for.
Window cleaner could be tried as well as gasoline (always the final choice). :D
Question. Does the goo gone leave any residue after that needs to be cleaned before you reapply any new adhesive?
Definitely
Super helpful. I used Goof Off to remove bumper stickers from a plastic car bumper. Not pristine - left dome residue, but very good .
Hi sir, I think the next video, you should up the difficulty buy taking off something you want to preserve - like a stamp collector
Great video, thank you!!
Excellent explanation. Thank you
Nice. Was the decals you remove paper based decals or plastic/vinyl based decals?
Thanks, this helped me!
Thanks for the test and tips 😊
What about rubbing alcohol residue on vinyl laminate floors
This was not a good test. You should have used food jars that have label residue that is super hard to remove. That would have been the real test.
Upcycled Life did a test on food jars. She let soak in hot soapy (Dawn) water with a 1/4 Cup white vinegar. Some she used SOS pads on the jars. Other stubborn adhesives she used a heat gun over the labels.

Great vid!
With duct tape it needs to be on for some length of time such as a week or more maybe two.
Hi there interesting video. Thanks. Would this work on glue backed stickers on record labels ? Thanks
Petrol always worked for me.
Thank you
Appreciate your attempt at comedy. You get a 5 on a scale of 10 for it. As to the "labels" you are removing. You should use real products with the manufacturers labels. So any "watchers". The reason should be obvious.
The experience I had at home with goo gone, was amazing, excellent result very easily to work with
Very interesting
You shouild have used masking tape, it always leaves residue.
I used goof off to remove industrial strength adhesive sealant from my motorcycle headlight lens. What a catastrophe. It clouded the inside of the lens so bad that it'll have to be replaced. Nothing I've tried works. Any help out there someone can give me?
Is it possible to remove rubber cement which was maliciously applied to the key slots of my truck?
Use zippo fluid! 🤝
Dude sound like Marvin the Martian from looney tones 😂😂😂
duck tape doesn't bond with plastic of that type because of the way the container was made and smoothed out next time try it on glass

Jeeze man, set up the lighting so you don't get shadows.
How about film on the hood of your car
You need to try duct tape on laminate flooring
ok
Don't cover your walls with zippo lighter fluid.
I coat in peanut butter for 24 hours and then it slides right off...
.
.
GOO GONE has never EVER worked for me , I shall wait a hour
It's too bad the video didn't show what product he used to get rid of the residue that caused the cloudiness.
Try rubbing achoal
100% lighter fluid is the best

Even on lowest volume it sounds like he’s screaming.
Get to the point and just say the products and show the work
This is documented science brother if you wanted a direct answer you could have googled it
Disgusting boomer or gen alpha TikTok brain rot brain, call it.
You adhesive isn't strong in the first place. This test is invalid.
That's not much of an adhesive, though.
Goo gone aint very good
Why are you yelling?
So you can hear me
"Project Farm" "wannabe". Go with the real deal!
hey I'm trying to get as good as he is someday
Lol, people like Pepsi too. Maybe use an original saying instead of the master's "very impressive". Your voice sounds almost like an old timey mid Atlantic accent, maybe play to that. Although review bruh does that one.

@@electricblakeytpeople are mean, thank you for wanting to help😊
You have been sniffing to much Goof Off
And I thought project farm was a nerd…..
At least Todd is interesting.
You could at least not be an obvious rip off.
Get your own personality 🙄
That’s just awful to say, bring light to humanity and don’t tear people down, where is your channel helping people?
Goo gone is awful 😖
It's not
