HOW TO Take this off? After having a "shark style" plastic antenna for 3 years, i decided to de-rice my car. i used a heat gun to remove the antenna beacuse i knew it was attached on my roof with strong 3m tape. now i have residue on my roof looks disgusting.:heckno: anyone know how to remove this residue (still sticky) without damaging my paint? i tried to heat it up and remove it but didnt work. *CF wrapping my roof is NOT an option http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1560/imag0165px.jpg |
Wash well, rub automotive adhesive remover, wash again :) Posted via RS Mobile |
Goo Gone. |

Only apply "Goo Gone" at the very last resort.. because it has methyl ether which can eat at the clearcoat/paint. |
Baby oil and damp rag maybe??? |
You could try alcohol rub, not too sure how damaging that is compared to goo gone though |
Alcohol is very commonly used by detailers to remove adhesives like that. The thing to remember is it will remove everything up to your clear coat - specifically waxes, so after you use alcohol to remove the adhesive, you need to re-wax that section to protect the paint. Mark |
^ very true. I used wax and grease remover (a mild solvent) to remove my old stuck on tape. I let a damp rag with solvent sit on it for about a minute then carefully scraped it with an old bank card. |
Safest product is AG Intensive tar remover but Goo Gone or any adhesive remover will work. Let it soak for 30 seconds - a minute and gently rub with a MF or use a cc to remove. Rewax area as noted above. |
solvent |
I know it feels impossible, but heat and rubbing it with a 100% lint free cotton cloth will make the adhesive stick onto the cloth. I did that with my debadging project. Didn't need alc, googone or anything. It will take elbow grease though =p |
Strange as it sounds... Roll some duct tape around your fingers, sticky side out, and dab at it. It's what I've always done for my factory stickers. |
AG Intensive tar remover or Tardis |
