Ok, I think I got all the key words in the subject.

Since I couldn't find anything in the archives as specific as the
replies I had to my question, I thought I would post a list of all the
cleaners and solvents people have used to either clean their Westy pop
top or remove sticker residue or both:


Bathroom Mildew Cleaner (cleaning)
Goo Gone (sticker residue removal)
Gel-Gloss (cleaning and sticker residue removal)
Citrus Degreaser (sticker residue removal)
3M General Adhesive Remover (also called a "release agent" -- same
thing?)


I bought a can of Goo Gone from Wal-Mart but haven't had a chance to try
it (32 degrees today).  I saw both the Gel-Gloss and Citrus Degreaser at
Wal-Mart, but the 3M product is much more difficult to find.  I was told
that I would need to go to some type of auto body paint supply shop to
find this stuff.

I've also had several really helpful replies to my signal light problem.
I picked up a cheap meter and will try to get to it on Friday.  I'll
post back when I figure it out.  (I won't have access to my e-mail until
I get back into town on Sunday.)

Happy Thanksgiving,
