How do I remove OEM sticker residue

Maybe using a hair dryer to melt it a bit then wipe off with a wet towel. Just keep repeating until you like it. Just don't focus heat on paint for to long. Good off eats away clear doesn't it? I used it once and the paint looked different in that area.
 
Have you tried bug and tar remover? It got rid of the sticker residue on my car but im not sure if the adhesive is the same type. I had good results with that and a razorblade on the windows and for the body i soaked the area and used a scotchbrite pad.
 
Bug and Tar Remover or Oops! Adhesive Remover. Get a plastic scraper for Bondo if it's really on there.
 
Goo Gone usually works well when removing decals. :hmm: I'm sure there is some other kind of adhesive remover that will work as well.. Try using something a bit rougher, obviously something not so rough that it will scratch your paint, possibly something like a rough sponge or something along that line.
 
Goof off!(let sit), Not (goo gone), it will smear but when it dry's after the smear use car wax and it will all come off.
 
I've done the Hair dryer trick also. residue: "Goo-gone", WD-40 and lighter fluid is good, BUT don't be cheap and expect a little bit will do wonders...get it WET! You don't wash your hand with drops of water to remove dirt, do you .. you get them WET!
