"Young people"?  Your profile says your 7.

The Goo Gone didn't work to good for me.  I think the swirl marks were caused by the paper towels I was using.  I should have used a clean rag I guess.  They pretty much dissapeared when I put some wax on the tank, but I'll probably go back and do a light polish later.

Still... You can't fix everything with WD-40, duct-tape and coat hangers.

You're right.  I've had a BD.  Need to update

Actually I tried the stuff once and it didn't work very well.  Maybe they tried to make the stuff too user friendly or environmentally safe and so it has it's limits.  

Oh yeah, as I wear glasses, it should be noted that paper towels are not recommended for cleaning them.  They are made from ground up wood (and other stuff) after all, and they will scratch them.  A fine polishing compound should fix you up though.

If you want to take adhesive residue off, go get some lighter fluid.  Nothing breaks down adhesives like naptha*.  In fact, my dad tells me that there is no other better carb cleaner than naptha.  Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) you cannot get it in 50-gallon drums any more.  I use lighter fluid to clean all adhesives: afterwards, you will need to wax.  Naptha pretty much cuts everything off.

*Naptha has been found to cause cancer in lab rats, when they are fed a diet of nothing but, by the state of California.  You may want to use gloves, Naptha will dry the living snot out of your skin

Boy, that's an old memory.  I think you can still buy it, but it's not a product that I have (or need) much anymore.

??? Can you elaborate on that a little?

It's just another type of polishing compound.  Works good too.
