I have a window ac unit that requires a net to be stuck to the window for the hose to go through. The sticky back Velcro they provided to attack the net to the window was coming off so I’ve decided to take it all down now the heat waves in the uk are calming down but they’ve left a horrible thick sticky residue behind. The window is a velux so the residue is on a painted wood surface. I googled it and I’ve tried warm soapy water and I’m currently working my way round with cooking oil which is doing it but it’s taking a painfully log time to do. Is there any quicker working methods or residue remover that won’t damage the painted wood? Thanks!

So, I currently own an automatic Toyota IQ. I love small automatics (I can drive manual but there’s just something about the ease of an automatic). But my car is currently in a garage with a fault with the CVT system. In case it can’t be fixed, I’m looking at alternatives and quite frankly Google is not doing its job as it won’t stop recommending me electric or SUVs and I don’t want that.
What I’m looking for is a good reliable small automatic (think Aygo Picanto size) that will last me a good long time. Mostly city commuting with very occasional motorway use. I’d like it to be petrol but will consider hybrid if necessary.
Can anyone give me some good recommendations. I do love Toyota as the make generally has great ease with garages as well as servicing and repairs but I am willing to step away from Toyota if there is another make that have a high reliability like them.
Thank you!
