I do not know what goo gone has in it. I would suggest kerosene. It will not harm your paint in anyway and dissolve quickly. Do not try to scrape it off, you will only scratch your paint, kerosene will dissolve it.

I am in NY, and thanks for helping me out, I really appreciate it.
Kerosene<--- are you sure about that, sounds kinda scary at first, thanks for the idea.

In the good old days that were not so good people used to put a little kerosene in their wash bucket prior to washing the car since it has a little oil in it. Kerosene is not like gasoline, it has a much higer vapor pressure. Bug and tar remover is also a good choice. I believe the goo gone may be to strong and strip the paint.

a little wax afterward is definitely in order tho, as the finish is removed, NOT the paint

I can unequivocally guarantee you that both Kerosene and GooGone will NOT hurt your paint. You will strip the wax finish off of course, but your clear-coat will be factory perfect.
Both are excellent at getting tar/bugs/gummy/sticky things off. The kerosene is cheaper, but the goo-gone is more handy in it's little bottle. It's actually a CLEAR plastic bottle (around 6-8oz) but the label is a black background. HomeDepot and Lowes have it as well.
