Careful, I tried this on the side of an enclosed trailer with tape residue and the gasoline messed up the sheen on the paint. You can see exactly where I rubbed it years later.

@motorcarnut 3 месяца назад

Yes I recommend only on automotive factory finishes and to clean afterwards with soap and water. If your shine is dull some micro finishing compound will bring back the shine. Got to remember putting duct tape on a vehicle’s paint in never a good idea to begin with. Thank you for the feedback

1 hour ago did a test patch to remove duck tape off my 2006 mercury grand marquis using a sponge lightly damp in gasoline while it lightly rains. Question does using gasoline effect paint or clear coat or both and how so ?

@motorcarnut Месяц назад

You have to be very careful about using gas. And should wash with soap and water afterwards. And may need to use some polishing compound to bring up the shine. You have to remember you’re not supposed to put tape on paint to begin with.

@MATT-2033 Месяц назад

So when the window is replaced we will use your method of gasoline and quick cleanup to restore paint from my bad decision.

@motorcarnut 7 месяцев назад

You have to use this method at your own risk. I have many people do this judging by my comments with great results. Factory paint should not be a problem but just test in a small area then wipe clean with soap and water. Can dull the surface requiring some compound. Been using this method a long time with no problems.
