getting double sidded tape off paint

  Top of Page

ok so i have had to remove my monsoons due to going to the snow and my roof racks not fitting over the monsoons.
my question is what is the best and quickest way to get the double sided tape off the paint without ruining the paintwork???

Thanx in advance

eucalyptus oil works on sticky stuff...

would suggest, whatever you use, try it on a bit of paint out of sight.
good luck

eucalyptus oil sounds good have no idea how good it really is :S
safest bet would be turps (will not take paint off same with metho but metho's not as good at getting sticky crap off because turps is oil based), i use it on all the cabinets at work to get the sticky stuff left by the stickers we peel off.

metho is only good at getting textor marks off (depending on what it is great for getting permanant textor off stainless steel... NEVER USE TEXTOR ON POWDER COAT!) great for cleaning an area which you would like to put a sticker on.

You best and cheapest bet on removing the residue is some WD-40!

when i took the tape off my monsoon to replace the tape, it was a total slut to remove.
i carefully scraped the hard tape off with a razor and the best thing i had to eat the glue was 2pac paint thinners, didnt hurt the paint and eeeeeeventually got it off.

use a Caramel wheel, we use them at work all the time, no damage to paint and the smell awesome when they heat up. just put it in a cordless drill.

I used eucalyptus oil for this before. Works well. You may have to give it a light polish to remove any remaining residue.

I used Prepsol, let it soak in for a while then it scrapes off pretty easy but get as mush as you can off with a blade first by rubbing it across the poo, not trying to scrape it, just be careful.

im not too sure but i think monsoons are thin gaurds that run above the front side windows like smaller versions of weather shields

white spirits works fine to, the only thing is that you have to wipe it of when done
