Nothin else touched the glue. Stickers were gone when I got it, but the goo picked up grime and made everything readible again. I tried gas, Goof-Off, paint thinner, alcohol, laquer thinner. None did anything of note to the goo, or the paint either. I suspect Ford used a herdener in the paint? Finally acetone takes it off,but only the oxidixed surface layer. Then I wait, and try it again in a few weeks. Only 20% left after 1 1/2 years.

I suspect being baked in the desert sun for ten years kicked off the glue, turning it into epoxy. hmmm, or residual hardener leaching out of the paint? The stickers would have been applied when the truck was only days old...
