ToplessZ Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Anyone know how to effectivly remove a clear gummy adhesive (not sure what kind it is) from a clearcoated surface without damaging the finish? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gtmattz Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 try wd-40 or goof-off, may have to re-wax afterward, but it should not hurt the finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Goo Gone is basically citric acid, it works well but will also hurt clearcoat. I have had great results with vegtable oil and a soft cloth...It works pretty good in removing adhesive as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMS Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 WD-40 does a very good job, but takes a while to work. Best product I've ever tried was 3M Adhesive remover. I put it on a rag, swiped it across the old adhesive, and that stuff was GONE! It ain't cheap $12 a bottle or so, but it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 rpms where did you find the adhesive remover. Ill look into that for sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathogen Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Xerox Film Remover works great but is expensive. Goof-offworks as well but I have used both and I think the Xerox stuff was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 try Bestine. It is rubber cement thinner/solvent. I am a architectural model maker and when I try and take off tape or tape residue I use Bestine as to not hurt the paint underneath. It might work for your purposes. It can be had at art stores I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I tend to use acetone or a carb cleaner with acetone in it... I doubt it will attack clear, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did things to other paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
