RJ-Brent: Nail Polish remover will break up the adhesive very easily and is carried at grocery stores everywhere. Won't ruin the painted finish either. CITROL is also a good adhesive remover, available at WalMart. You should really look into just doing regular details like you did at the beginning of gig on RU-vid. Getting the most abused cars are getting rather old and puts you in a different class of RU-vid detailers. Congratulations on reaching 200K subscribers!!! Great results on the SS.

Maybe some goo gone might’ve worked to get rid of the adhesive. I’ve used it on a bunch of surfaces that has had adhesive etched into the paint for many years and so far so good I mean it hasn’t done any damage to speak of

@kerranz 3 года назад

DL brand hand cleaner is nice and thick and could be smeared on and not fall off. It's kind of oily and would absorb into the adhesive. I had a sign shop for thirty years so and I used it for all kinds of sticker goo. That stuff will remove VINYL INK off your hands, so a little tape gum is no problem. next best thing would be mineral spirits. Lay a paper towel on the area and give it a squirt of spirits and let it soak for ten minutes.

This is old post for comments, anyway.. -This guy calls you says he has a Chevelle in a shop that hasn't been touched in 10-15yrs. He wants you to detail it. You should of brought every trick in the detailer's book. Talk about going in blind. There's a dozen things that'll get that old ass tape glue off. "If" he told you the paint WAS new when it was parked, it should of been a no brainer to expect to 'wet sand' it. You could of hit up a local parts store for those materials. I don't think you wanted to take that much time on it. Yes, it looks great. But it could look much better. Thing is, is that'll a shit ton of work for a non running vehicle..

I would pick american built car:) I have a saab rn and its very good, light and handles great but the quality isnt really there. The engine is a 65 hp Ford v4 with a tiny transmission that likes to grenade, the doors is hollow and needs a bit of force to lock and the fit isnt there at all. With the old american built cars, everything is heavy and built tough, like the doors sounds so good clicking together and the fit is perfect, and allways built with a big engine.

That Painter saved that car. but WD brought back to Life... now can we get a real car cover bring back to the streets....

I’ve used WD-40 to get duct tape residue off of cars. The tape had been on the roof holding some 3mil plastic over a leaking sunroof. The had put it on there until they had the money to have the sunroof replaced and resealed (took a couple of years, but the original duct tape and plastic sheeting worked). The WD-40 worked like a champ. After removing the residue I immediately washed, clay barred, compounded, then waxed. There were no visible lines where the paint had been. So basically… WD-40. LOL

@WDDetailing 3 года назад

We tried wd 40, road paint remover, all purpose solvent, and even a few other more aggressive chemicals ! A rubber wheel on a dremel was what we really needed

@ulerhond 3 года назад

@11:18 - I would suggest using WD-40. You can let it sit on the surface for a few minutes, then literally go back and rub it off with your fingers or a bristle brush, then go back and wash it to remove the residue from the WD-40.

Wow! Just freaking wow! You guys are like magicians! That Chevelle looks incredible regardless of how many obstacles were in your way. I had the same problem with tape residue on a '69 GTO that was in storage and discovered Goo Gone, some elbow grease, and a lot of patience can work wonders. I know this job wasn't easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. But you guys knocked it out of the park. One bit of advice for your next job: Expect the unexpected. Always go in thinking it's the worst job you can imagine and that you'll need every possible tool.

I tried to get my dad to buy the SS 396 with a 4 on the floor in the original green with the racing stripe but the insurance for a 15.5 year old was too much - over $400 per year vs about $100 on the Malibu with an automatic.
