Please take a moment and order a few products then You can get good results with local stores, but most of the best bang for the buck/ease of use products need to be ordered.

What color is your vehicle?

If by "glue" you mean yellow gunk inside the doors and such, that's cosmoline.

Wash your car thoroughly but don't grind the wash sponge into the paint. Anything left over can be wiped with a microfiber towel and quick detail spray to try and remove it. If it still isn't coming up, move to a clay bar (which is an excellent long term investment to have to remove stuff stuck in the paint like bugs, tar, etc.)

Once the car is completely clean and dry, I'm a big fan now of Sonax PolyNetShield. Use it very sparingly to do half a panel at a time - such as half the hood - then wipe off. Preferably do this in the shade or in a garage. Wipes off super simple, very good sealant.

Edit: Sonax PolyNetShield and other sealants are practically invisible when applied on white or silver cars and still hard to see on darker cars. Use a cross-hatch pattern in a small space to ensure you get good coverage in your area before wiping off. If your car is white or silver, even if you don't wipe it off you'll be hard pressed to see it's there until you spray it with water - then you'll know exactly where it is because the water will form ridiculous levels of beading
