Thank you. From this and other research, 3 tools I used to remove cheap buff masking duct tape that had been fried onto my vehicle paintwork by the sun for four weeks, covering 60 sq cm paintwork area were: 1. Old store/discount etc card to scrape - this was effective at chipping 2. WD40 3. Small kitchen sponge. The 3 main benefits of the sponge on my job I found were: 3a. I could really frequently apply WD40 as I was chipping (spray load direct to the sponge not the car); 3b. I did not waste any WD40 dropping down on the car; and 3c. I could wipe off the glue/debris with the sponge as I went, picking up the WD40 as well. 4. Start with this: Hair dryer on hot setting to melt the old glue, working together with the credit card and the WD40, to remove the tape 3 x more easily. I have done this job today took me about an hour. Hope this helps somebody out there. I know I would like to have read it myself, hence reason for posting. Any questions do ask! But all said and done, this is a great video.
Anyone tried an N aggressive clay bar?? Did my first PPF remove and, there’s aggressive left over. The solvent I had was weak or I want slowing it to soak which is what I got from this and other videos. Let it Soak in…. Don’t use the heat gun over the chemicals though. The paint can fade or bubble . Most importantly the vapors can become neurotoxic. Use gloves. Use gloves use gloves.
I am having tremendous success with WD-40. Goo-gone etc. just smears the adhesive and leaves a sticky mess but WD-40 breaks it down nicely. And the smell is not bad like other chemicals. Why didn't I think of this before? Well, luckily we have channels like yours! Thanks again.
Someone broke into my impala so I taped the window so my son wouldn't feel the wind in the back. After I got my window fixed there was some left over tape. Thanks to you it all came off... and i used some low budget fake ass wd40 that my father had and it still worked. Thanks
Thanks dude, the previous owner of the car put at the hatch a humongous reflector bar (i think that's what it's called) now i got it off, plus the residue and the back's looking sexier than ever before
Tip: Use a dishwasher pod, the kind with the sand soap in it, and rub it on the sticker spot. This will act like a gentle sandpaper and soap to clear away the residue.
Us ol'dog's can learn new tricks! Simple brilliant, good on you young fella! Oh did'nt even need to go to Auto shop. Had everything here at home, and in my pocket! Thanks Young Fella!
Thxz you helped me out I had a busted driver window so I put a bag over it with tape so days later when I had the money to fix it I took it off and it was tape residue everywhere I tried and tried to get it off without scratching up my paint so thanks this worked
Like the video but it would be better to use gasoline and a couple of cotton towels. Keep the rags wet but not dripping and rotate to keep clean part of the rags on the dried on glue. This will penetrate the adjective and allow you to remove it with less abrasion. Then clean the surface with warm soapy water after everything is off. The gas is petroleum based and if left on paint for extended periods will eventually damage your paint.
That was a great idea you did a good job and it came right off I applied clear tape on my rear tail light and trying to peel it off and everything it just looks ugly so I'm going to try that but thank you so much for the demonstration 👍😄
You definitely don’t wanna use, nail polish, goo gone or anything like that , sure it will resolve the adhesive but it will damage the car paint big time, the only thing you should use is we 40 or car wax, both are safe, will not do any damage whatsoever. Also you don’t need to use a plastic credit card, that can also cause scratches and scrapes, simply use a soft cloth in a Circular motion, after several time or maybe more the adhesive will start to come off cleanly. God bless
I have a '99 Odyssey. The trunk emblem fell off as I was washing it yesterday. I've tried citrol, 3m adhesive remover, lighter fluid, goo gone, lacquer thinner and a bunch more with very little luck. Any ideas?
Watched a different video and it said use gasoline ⛽️ and it came off crazy fast and he just wiped it he didn’t even have to scrape, he said it was way faster than goo gone and WD 40. I’m gonna try the gasoline method.
I always use a cloth with some unleaded fuel and it comes right off. And no risk of scratching paint like with your "fast and easy" method. Just get some from you lawn mower
I used gorilla tape on my car and the residue was there for a couple months. I thought it wasn’t gonna come off with this method because of how strong the tape is but it did come off surprisingly. I did have to spray it 3 times waiting 10 minutes in between but everything finally came off !
It takes elbow grease. He fast forward the video, because I just let my goo gone sit on my paint for awhile and when I scrubbed it off with a microfiber towel, it was still a pain to take off, though I like his card method. Great Video overall. Just wish there was an easier way?
Bro try some baking powder and edible oil mix them in the ratio of 1:1... Make a paste and apply on the adhesive part.... Let it settle of some minutes and wipe out clean and clear no scratching or anything
@@reed8897 nope.. the guy who tought me this trick said only use Baking powder and not soda... Im not pro at this kitchen ingredients so i blindly follow what i was told. And it works out always so never tried any experiment :)
A tiny amount of gasoline would have removed that in seconds with a rag and without using a credit card (which may wreck your clear coat) Then you wash off the gas area with water.
You can get plastic scrapers at Home Depot, Lowes or even WalMart. Much better than a credit card. They usually come in a pack of 3 or 4 of different sizes.
