I've never had a problem removing any or it leaving any goo. But then again I work with the brand I sell and not "Starshield" brand. I wholeheartedly believe what I sell is better in every way.
Any goo left behind (if you use one of those "crappy" films that leaves a bunch a goo) should easily be cut by a product called rapid remover. You spray it on and in 60 seconds the glue turns to jelly. It's citrus based and is not harsh on the paint.
I did end up with a crappy kit on the front end of my car that the body shop put on when I had the clam replaced. I've never been happy with it and it hazes up and continually needs polishing, unlike the stuff I put on 4 years ago behind the rear wheels which still looks new and crystal clear. So finally pulling that one off and replacing on Monday. Should be fun- garbage film over a repaint (well new paint on a new clam, but still nothing rushed through a body shop is ever like factory) I guess we'll get to see if I screw my car up right before LOG.

I've got some 3M adhesive and wax remover. It worked pretty well when I removed 8 year old stripes from my Miata. Same basic action, it jellied the adhesive bits in about 30-60 seconds.
Where could I find a steamer? This one's a new one on me? On a related topic, You have PM, SDD.
