Need help, how to remove duct tape glue

[leeaspell]

So got a new rear window installed and now the hard work begins. I had it covered with duct tape and a garbage bag. Now the bag and duct tape are gone but all the glue is still stuck to my truck. I tried goo gone but it didnt even soften it.

What should i use. I was thinking kereosene but dont want to mess up my paint or finish.

Any ideas?

[justsomeguy]

Goo be gone or other similar cleaners will work

[rwm1273]

Isopropal alcohol.

[leeaspell]

Goo gone was a waste of ten bucks. Ill try alcohol in the morning. Just dont want t wreck the paint

peanut butter. Smear it on the glue let sit a couple of minutes then rub off in circular motion. Works.

[leeaspell]

Smooth or chunky?

[slam]

Only tried the chunky but I think either will work as it is the peanut oil that reacts with the glue.

wd-40 does a pretty decent job. Takes a bit of elbow grease but it does break down the glue residue.

[rwm1273]

WD40 also works. Ops. I was beat to it. Must have been writing it as it was being posted.

Wd-40

I'vs used WD-40 to remove glue.

[leeaspell]

Ill give it a trt. Its starting to look pretty bad. All the dust and bugs are sticking in it lol

Got a parts store like Napa or Bumper to bumper in town. A light duty degreaser will take it off real easy and not damage your paint.

lighter fluid,,, squirt some on, take pa painters bump-razor and voila. i used to take stickers off old credit card machines for a living.

X2 lighter fluid works better than anything!

Peanut butter works really well for getting tree sap off of surfaces (even your hands) really well too.

Although not sure I would use chunky stuff on a paint job....might scratch?

everclear

hand sanitizer works well, takes that yellow sticky stuff of windshields completely !

[prairiecustom]

Naphtha,which is lighter fluid.It is also camp fuel.It will take it right off

as said by others, WD-40 is a pretty good solvent, as is Napatha/lighter fluid. Safe for paint.

coke takes oil and tar splatter from new road construction off car paint. Maybe it works for this also?

[Big Daddy Badger]

Try nail polish remover...the "gentle" kind.

To bad it's on the paint...nothing gets to those rubber based adhesives like acetone.

[keeks]

Lacquer thinner, or acetone. However, as stated, keep it off any painted surfaces.

k

Acetone, I don't leave home without it.

[sikwhiskey]

Gasoline and a rag.

[50/50]

Ether - also removes permanent marker

[Redfrog]

Belt sander.


or you could just put some fresh duct tape over to hide it.

Hope this helps. I know the belt sander will work.

[donabb]

Do it Oil Patch..Diesel and a wire brush...
Varsol will remove the glue and not hurt the paint
