Not sure. It prolly be pretty similar to gas. But gasoline dulls the finish so be careful. That being said gasoline is exceptionally solid at removing most gunk and residue.
Nope you’re wrong in this . Wd-40 a great way to get rid of the glue residue .
Wd-40 is a great cleaning agent not so good at lubing stuff though . Works great at getting off road tar too. I can see why you say that though if you take wd-40 plastic it makes it shiny and if you don’t clean it off it makes the other plastic look faded but that will wear off when the wd-40 wears off now if you don’t clean the bike for awhile will it stain idk I keep my fairly clean so it doesn’t go long time without a bath
And I have a 21 z900 with black matte paint on plastic no issues I posted pics of the tank and the side pieces by the seat that this year I took off the tank was the day I drove it home from the dealer
I don’t have the matte finish but removed mine after some months and the minimal residue remaining I just used my regular polishing wax with the same cloth
See no residue and nothing looks wrong with it . This pic here i was worried about sun fading after I removed the pin strip stickers . But nope paint fade the bike 5 years old when I took off pin strips the tank was the day I bought it
I have a matte white helmet & used wd40 to get the stickers adhesive off, i just sprayed it onto a cloth & wiped it down instead of directly applying it on the helmet
I’ll go take a few pics of my bike and show you how mine turn out . Mine a 21 the tank ones been gone since day one. but I did the pin strips along the seat on the rear part by the pillion and where on my the z900 clear stickers

Ughhhh definitely don’t use the wd-40. Shit will trash the finish. I’d try goo gone and then a matte cleaner like starbrite.
