best way to clean leftover 'sticker sticky'?

[noble8301]

I just recently purchased a brand spankin new 2010 nb. On the inside of my driver's side door, all along the bottom (around where the pocket is) there is leftover 'sticky' like from a sticker or something that was pulled off. The dealership detailed the car for me following the purchase but either missed it or couldnt completely remove it. I didn't notice it til I was well home.

I'd really hate to make a big deal with my VW dealer about something so minor. Driving her back up to get redetailed seems like a big hassle to me - assuming I could drop 5 bucks on some cleaner and do it myself. I have been to stores and seen all sorts of 'sticky' removers but I don't know if there is a 'best' one out there. I'm curious if any of you in the community have a go-to brand you like to use. I'm just worried something may be too abrasive and mess up the interior.

Thanks in advance for the input

I recommend that wonderful citrus cleaner, Goo Gone.
You can get a small bottle for about 2-3 bucks and it'll remove the goo AND leave your car smelling great.

Concur. Goo-gone is probably the best and safest solution to use.

I forgot to mention, Goo Gone smells GREAT and you can use it without having to wear special gloves since it is just citrus extract really. Unless you are allergic to that sort of then, then there might be issues

Thanks so much for the advice. I'll have to pick some up this weekend.

Goo gone is #1 - love it long time!

just get a clay bar from your parts store I used that to detail my black beetle worked great removed a lot of crud off the surface of my paint to include the tree sap.

I have this issue with my 2009NBC and been wondering what to use. Thanks.

Meguiars Paint Cleaner worked fine for me. At least with "normal" stickers. When I had issues removing the adhesive rest of the clear stoneguard I had to go to a profeesional polishing guy.
