yep, wd40 works great to remove stuck on bugs, road tar, bubble gum, bumper stickers or any kind of glue residue without hurting the paint.

i know I shouldn't be worried, but I don't think I want to put oil on something im about to repaint even if I am going to wash it off and clean it after. it just scares me if I miss one little spot or miss some oil in a crevice somewhere I could mess up the paint job so I think i'll try carb cleaner first and follow up with rubbing alcohol and see if that gets it all, if not then i'll break out the wd40.
