When you gut your car , right when you take out the door panels and theres the plastic film or whatever , peel that and it leaves like sticky tarlike glue . any suggestions on how to remove it , or anyone know how to remove it ? i used goo gone but not that effective .

 

 

i would also like to know.

 

Could you freeze it with dry ice and then chip it off? That is how I removed the tar from my floor boards.

 

- Heat it up with a low temp heat gun.
- Scrape away with a stiff metal spatula
- If you still can't get it off, use a wire brush bit on a good drill


Someone also told me to use Castrol Super Clean and a little bit of
the original Goo Gone or Goof Off (as seen on tv).

 

when its hot , its easy to play with, just start peeling

 

I've done the heating method.. it sucks!! Use the dry ice method.. cleaner and easier....

you done it and it accually worked ? of yes how long it took you ?

 

Wouldn't liquid nitrogen work best for freezing it?

That's what she told me!

 

If your talking about the more flexable black tar used to glue the window flims on the doors just use something like 3M adhesive remover or Goof Off! The hard tar in the floor pans requires dry ice and a lot of elbow grease (there is a wicked how-to on the board) and if you mean the tan colored putty a heat gun and putty knife will get that off.

 

i just read a thread a couple days ago with it. the guy walks you through it. he uses dry ice. search it.

Yep, but this is for the floorboards ( https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=525936 ) for the doors just use a heat gun and peel.

 

damn, i must have been really lucky with my floorboard tar, all i did was get an edge of my screwdriver under it and levered it up, i got both driver and passenger sides up in almost one piece. the rear section was a little harder, so what i did was dig a corner of the tar up with the driver and jammed it in and broke it up, got that tar off in about an hour. but in total i only saved about 20 lbs. o well

 

just use some goof off or paint thinner.

If you use a scraper or wire wheel, you'll scrap your finish to pieces
