Default Got sticker residue on my car

I put a sticker on my car and when i took it off, some of the residue/glue stayed on it. And my stupid friend tried to rub it off and made it all black. I was told i could take it off with gasoline or alcohol, but i dont want it to effect the shine. Anyone got any ideas?

They make this eraser thing that you can put on a drill....its like a 4" diameter rubber eraser, we used it on a buddies car when we were de-ricing after he bought it cuz it had 3m double sided tape on holding the side moldings on.

I wouls use goo gone. I would avoid WD40 and gas just b/c it seems kinda harmful to the surface.
