so when i bought this car, the front fender had this long molding on it and i would like to remove it because its on the bumper and fender. when it took some of it off to remove my bumper the sticky part got all messed up. is there anyway to remove this gunk/**** off my car?

 

they have one called gunk off i believe, i think they sell it at like home depot or h&e. if not get the sticker removal can from autozone. by the way gunk off is the shiot,works wonders.

 

Brake fluid will take it off

 

yea along with the paint ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


do not use brake fluid

 

I used paint thinner and a little rubbing then a claybar to take off everything...

 

use some kind of autosol or bodysol....its what i use at my job for stuff like that

 

There are different things that work; but, what also works, and almost everyone has on hand, is ..... WD-40.

 

cant see your pic but I guarantee tha 3m adhesive remover works wonders.
I used it to remove the gunk left behind the pinstripes I had and it came out clean very easily. I personally would recommend rinsing it with water afterwards as a precaution. I used the stuff a long time ago and my paint is still clean and intact

Good luck!!

 

gas will work but you have to be careful, also i work at a Mazda dealership and we have some stuff called actrisole (probably spelled that wrong) and it works wonders on anything and is safe for the paint i suggest go to a car dealer near you and ask them for a good all purpose gunk remover b/c they will have the best stuff out there. best of luck

 

GOO GONE!

 

A hair dryer will help you a lot with this stuff. I've messed with it before and it's a real pain in the ***.

The hair dryer will make it easier to remove along with an adhesive remover.

If you have some stuff that really refuses to come off, use brake CLEANER. NOT fluid. Brake cleaner should not harm the clearcoat of your paint. I've used brake cleaner on lots of cars without a problem. If you're worried, keep a hose nearby to spray the area down if needed.

 

i had the sticker **** on my car also.. i bought goof off from Lowe's and it came off, this was about 2 months ago.. i just noticed yesterday that the sticker spots are coming back! so i guess i have to do it again, but for the most part the goof off worked good

Wash the car, then clay bar it and polish it. That should get any residue off. After that put on a coat of wax to protect the paint.

 

Im tellin yallz 3m adhesive remover is easy, no steaks no pain in the ****.
Home depot has it I think.

Not that NOFX is wrong, but I really dig the 3m.

How would what you say even disagree with what I said? I only said adhesive remover. I didn't name a brand.

Btw, no clue what you mean by "steaks". Maybe you mean streaks?

Either way though, it shouldn't be an issue since you should polish and wax afterwards.

 

Yeah NOFX it doesn't leave any Filet Minion or T-Bones or grill marks. LOL

It's all good man just didnt want you to think I was unvalidating your info cuz I respect your opinion.

I guess I missed the adhesive part you where saying.

No problem. If anyone can suggest better ways to do something, say it.

I do have a photo of myself spraying brake cleaner on the trunk of an Audi (in front of the owner). I took it after people kept being afraid to use it on their paint, since I assume they were mixing brake cleaner up with brake fluid.

If brake cleaner were that harmful to paint, I don't think it'd be a good idea to sell it in aerosol cans!
