Removing tape on Wind deflector

Hi,

Yep, I have seen it done that way. You need to get it really hot with the hair dryer to soften it and then it is much easier to remove.

The remover can be used. Just make sure it indicates it's safe for painted surfaces. Try in in an area that won't be seen to confirm.

I remove double stick a lot and my favorite "cutting tool" is braided fishing line. It is stronger than floss and cuts the foam like a razor. That can be an issue though, as you will want to wrap the line around something like a screwdriver handle or dowel rod, do not just try wrapping it around a finger or hand, even with gloves on I have seen it chew through leather before I got smart. As for the glue, you can use a plastic blade to remove as much of the foam as possible, then get a 3M adhesive eraser wheel to remove the rest. Just follow the instructions on the wheel.

With the braided line I don't usually use any heat unless it's a cold day. The heat is useful then as it makes the plastic flexible so it doesn't break.

Hi,

I would think any of them would work. (Not familiar with goof off). LOL First, make sure that what you use won't affect the paint. If it was mine, I would likely start with goo gone. It's usually safe to use on most everything.

Let me know if you get it off.

Hi,

I noted that you had another post. I watched the video on it and have seen that done in the past. By heating it, the adhesive will soften and be easier to remove. Then you could use something like goo gone or 3M adhesive remover. Just make sure the directions on the product you choose indicates it is safe for painted surfaces. I would suggest trying it in an area that isn't seen to confirm it doesn't damage anything.

Let me know if I can help or if you have other questions.

Hello, I'm Danny.

I've attached a picture below of the best adhesive remover you can use. This gets rid of double sided tape or any glue or junk sticking to your car. It doesn't ruin paint either and is made by 3M company. Just giving my 2 cents. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
