Jokerz!
Williams, 1988Is Goo Gone safe to use to get decal residue off of the Williams logo in the middle of a system 11 ball return apron? I picked up a used one off eBay because my current apron on my Jokerz has a decal shaped paint loss/fade/over scrubbed area on it's current apron where the Williams logo is, and the "new" one i got on eBay has a decal in the same area, so i wanna make sure i don't' do the same thing to this one when i go to remove the sticker.

Thanks!
I can, regrettably, confirm that goo gone will discolor the base paint on a system 11 apron. It didn't take the paint completely off but you can see anywhere it made contact.
Thanks for all the replies guys!!
It is interesting that it doesn't seem to hurt the PF (I used it liberally on my whirlwind PF when i removed the mylar and it looked absolutely new) which to me i would assume to be "softer" then the paint on the apron. But i guess the "chemical makeup" may be different too.
Aside from WD-40, what about 91% isopropyl alcohol? I used that to remove all the goo on the mylar "insert" under the plastic upper PF of my jokerz when i installed a new upper PF, and it came out like new. Seemed to break it down pretty quickly too.

No, it smeared mine (Jokerz) and its still sticky

91% Will take off the paint. Heck on some SS pins I've had simple green and even Windex take off paint.
