Depends on the type of adhesive. I like Goo-Gone (buy it at WalMart). I've been known to use brake cleaner on a rag for tougher adhesives.

make sure you wash/wax the spot you used the goo gone on afterwards, i've heard that goo gone potentially damages your clear coat.

I think you may be thinking of Goof Off. Goof Off will eat your car. Goo Gone is citrus based and not nearly as caustic. Definitely do not leave Goo Gone to sit and fester, but don't be maniacal about it either.

NOOO this can take off your clear coat

Best thing is Denatured Alcohol its perfect I use it to take off glue left from vinyl.

yea it all depends on how much you use and how hard you scrub.
