Dont do it! Its ok for glass, like if you want to remove sap or something, but I personally would keep it off the clear coat surface. try a product called 3M tar/ adhesive remover.....Excellent product....What are you trying to clean ?

Seems like a lot of people ask about it to remove the adhesive left behind when removing the badges or emblems.

Goo gone sounds like a liability! Use something requiring minimal follow up work, try 3M.

Ive used goo-gone on tar, works well. I use a quick detailing spray rite afterwards though and clean it up. never a problem.

I would not use goo-gone on a large area of the car. If you wish to remove oxidants and tar from your car, buy a claybar.

Foir small area like removing badge adhesive its fine.
