Best way to remove glue from sticker

I took off the air bag sticker that is located on the ashtray but it left a gluey residue, just a tad. Whats the best way to take this off?

What about the sticker thats left behind from the window sticker?

Thanks.

Goo-Gone is great for that and is pretty easy on most surfaces.

Hey thanks guys i heard lighter fluid as well, but i dont want to use that on the plastic.

Any suggestions for that part? I will try lighter fluid on the glass now.

The Goo-Gone will work just fine on the plastic.

Vegetable oil works on plastic without damage.

nail polish remover shouldn't be used on any part of any car.

goo-gone is good. absent a formal adhesive remover (a safe one), use a napkin dabbed with WD40.

What I did was pasting the sticky part of the sticker to the gluey residue and took it off. after about 3 X all the residue stick to the sticker.

The window sticker? Not the Mercedes-Benz signature sticker, right? Otherwise your car will drop $1k in value! ;-)....
