I have used this on some very high-gloss varnished teak which had old masking tape/residue on it, and the result was no tape or residue and still glossy surface. The bottle I have says good for all surfaces, but as with any product like this it is prudent to try a bit on a hidden area. I bought my bottle on Amazon. Dennis 1985 Outrage 18 with Suzuki DF140A

I have used a hairdryer on low and that has worked. You need to go very slowly. Remember, the windshield is easily scratched. There is a compound to buff out scratches. Only clean with water and a lint free cloth.

If Goof-Off does not damage acrylic, then I doubt that WD will, but the last time I looked there were some water based versions of Goof-Off? The old original stuff was pretty aggressive with high power solvents.
