I would get an eraser wheel to get the glue off. Much faster. Just be careful that the body is clean and you don't burn through the paint.

goo gone sucked when I tried to use it. I ended up using goof off and a spray can of adhesive remover. Spray the glue and let it sit for a minute or 2 then pour the goof off on a rag and wipe with your fingertip. everything I tried took way too long.
here was my kit that I used, the rubbing compound worked incredibly!

x2 on the goof off. it took me like 2 bottles though.

pulled the entire trim and rolled off most of the glue with my fingers, got huge blisters, but made my job easier. it took about 15 mimutes to completely remove all the glue on each section, door, rear door, fenders, so the process took about 2 hours.

well it all depends on the person using it

Moldings are stuck on there using tape. LS/LT badges use glue. Chevrolet sign in the back is also tape.

**** goo gone, get yourself a 3M eraser wheel. I used a heat gun to heat up the corners of the molding, then pulled it right off. Took the eraser wheel and removed all the tape. Shouldn't take more than a hour and you wont have messed up blistered fingers afterward.
