For the love of all that's good, please don't put acetone on your car. WD-40 works just fine and is very much safe to use on the paint.

Maybe it was WD-40 I used. I can't be sure these several months later.

Whatever I used softened it up nicely and with some moderate rubbing got all the old adhesive off. And there was zero paint damage after a nice compound and buff. Looks factory fresh

Did this several years ago and used the Goo Gone method. I have original paint and there have been no effects from what I can see. Car still looks great!
