Hi Guys,
After removing the 3M film using a steamer what the best product to use to remove very sticky 3M adhesive on the front of the coach. Even 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover doesn't do a very good job. There must be a secret trick to this.

I have been using WD-40 Specialist Rust Release Penetrant Spray on the adhesive left on stuff where I removed the labels.
Don't know about 3M adhesive, but worth a try.
I had tried nail polish remover, "Sticky Adhesive Remover" and a multitude of products, along with elbow grease and as a last resort I grabbed the above stuff. The regular WD-40 didn't do a thing!.
Wipe on, wipe off. Just about that fast.
I use the 3m adhesive remover all the time. The trick is to keep a microfiber rag soaked with the remover and just keep really soaking it. It takes a lot of remover so buy plenty. Nothing is magic on old adhesive.

RAPID REMOVER is what I found to work so much better than 3M remover. A lot less money and not near the odor of the 3M remover. I bought it from a local vinyl sign company and it was less than $60.00 for a gallon. Ended up using about a half a gallon removing the 3M film. Also used it to remove the sticky film on the ceiling vinyl. Did al this about five years ago, I'm sure the price has gone up.
Compared to the price increase for everything else. On amazon 1 gallon $70.00

Another fan of rapid remover. Best I've found and non toxic. The microfiber towel sounds like a good idea too. I've also used (very carefully) a razor blade to pick up the softened adhesive.
Turbojack,
Thank you for your suggestion.
