Starting fluid (ether) works really well and fast. Just be sure to use it in an open area with no smokers or other combustion potential nearby! You can get spray cans of it at auto supply stores.

I tried WD40, Goof Off, paint thinner, mineral spirits, and Mr.Clean magic eraser with little success. By far the best on my car was denatured alcohol rubbing with a soft cloth. When I got to the windows I used a paint scraper(razor blade in holder), and then I was shocked when using on the painted surface I scraped it off without damaging the car's paint. More denatured alcohol & perfect!

RE: Duct Tape Residue on a Car
Just wanted to report that we are cleaning our house after the whole Hurricane Ike incident. Our back room has huge 3.5 x 3.5 plate glass windows that we covered in duct tape. Its been there about 3 weeks now.
I tired Alcohol, baby oil and nail polish remover on it and none of them worked. On a whim I grabbed some sticky tack and started to rub that on it and it came off so easily I was astonished.
So whatever you have duct tape residue on, try sticky tack.

I had a phone that I bought from a flea market that had been taped, long ago, to hold the handset onto the base. I tried alcohol and WD-40 and all they did was smear it and pretty much make it worse.
I didn't want to go out and buy anything, seeing as the phone had only cost me two dollars -- so I used something that has worked other miracles for me, in the past: tea tree oil.
I just wet a dishrag with it and wiped over and over and then clean wiped it with a dry spot on the rag. worked great.

I just bought a truck and on the windows where the stickers were it is all sticky. My back window are tinted and I am afraid to use anything on them.

WD-40 works but very tedious. I have a lot of sticky stuff on my truck though.

Been there and done that! You might try putting a few drops of automatic transmission fluid on a rag and rubbing the goo. It worked very well for me. Make sure you remove all residue from the paint!!
