I have used lighter fluid/naptha to remove glue from the Airstream without any damage to the finish.

I second the Goo Gone. You don't have to dress in a hazmat suit to use it.

Has anyone tried 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner? You can get it at auto body supply stores. Works great. Here is the link:

A heat gun works on a complete bumper sticker. Once they are all cut up and scratched it does not work so well.

sometimes trying to remove it will only make it worse.

if you plan to sell the AS, leave it for the new owner

WD-40. Spray it on, let it soak for a few minutes, wipe off. It never fails.
