White spirit works every time ... turps tends to leave smears in my experience.
Where am I knocking today?

I bought some Sticky Stuff Remover from B & Q having read about it on either this thread or on another. £4 odd for a very small bottle.

I tried it yesterday on a neighbours new'ish front door that still has the sticky residue from labels and stickers from when it was fitted about a year ago.

My honest opinion, sorry to say but I found the stuff is just one step better than useless and is less effective than lighter fuel which pound for pound is a lot cheaper.

Weird. Been using it for years. Came across it by accident.

Oh well.

Virosol. I wouldn't use anything else.

Citrus based degreaser that just melts stickers.

Put it neet on a cloth and buff it in with circular motions. Leave it to sit for 30 seconds or more and clean as normal. At most you will have to take a blade to only the really stubborn stickers.
