Hello,
 
I have a chain guard that I peeled of the chainstay and there is lotsa glue goo left behind.
 
I tried water, alcohol, and degreaser (not intentional), but all I get is some paint tint on the rag. The goo wont go.
 
Anything I can try next? Don't wanna damage the finish.
 
I don't wanna put on another chain guard because I like seeing as much of the beautiful frame as possible.

Try Goo Gone, which you can find at most any hardware store.

I used denatured alcohol,  worked nice and easy.  You have to use the hardware store stuff, not the drug store stuff.

Citra-solv is the best I've found. Stronger than goo-gone. Use outside
if possible as the orange smell lingers a while!

Best,

Goof Off. I've used it for this exact purpose and it works like a charm. I got it at Home Depot

WD-40. Fast & safe removal of adhesive residue is one of its better applications.

Don't use GOOF OFF. It's a mix of aggressive solvents (mostly acetone), and it will lift color. One of its intended uses is "removal of dried paint."
