Best way to get sticker gunk off?
When i got my car, they did a horrible job with the prep, and there were a lot of sticker gunk still stuck onto my car. What's the best way of removing all of this without damaging my paint? I even have it on the rubbery part of the sun roof.
Also... what method do u guys suggest is the best in removing gum from the carpet... my uncle tracked gum into my car.. damn it...

OK, sticker I agree with the hairdryer/heatgun and fingerrnail. Goo Gone works great to get the glue off. for the El Cheapo's WD40 works too. But wash the car goos after you use it and wax it too.
Gum, try using ice to get it hard and then pick it out. Upolstery cleaner should work too.

heat is the best way, while using another sticker to pull off the old stuff. Goo-b-gone is ok for paint too.
For gum, maybe their's some kind of oil that's safe for fabrics. Should be able to get it out. You'll have to soften it first tho

As for the gum...buy a new floormat?

The blow dryer works wonders. Just make sure the chord isn't in any puddles.

Some of the answers in this thread are simply scary.
The best answer is 3m's General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner which can be purchased from any automotive paint supply house. An alternative is naphtha from a hardware or paint store.
