Adhesive Remover?

[asw32988]

I'm looking for a brand of adhesive remover thats car paint safe (stupid dealer badges)

any help is appreciated, thanks!

You want 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner. It will remove the wax but will not harm your paint (as always, try it on a hidden area first).

It also works great for tar, tree sap, etc.

heat up the adheasive with a hair dryer and use a towel... be carful not to smear it all over but it should come off pretty easy

When I took my dealer badge off I had a clear adhesive residue left behind. But as always I first attempted to get it off with a plain old microfiber towel and some water....it worked just fine. Those damn microfiber clothes take off almost anything.:thumbsup:

Try eucalyptus oil from a pharmacy or drug store. It eats way the stick glue backing but is harmless to paintwork as it is an oil. Works like a charm.

all these different solutions sound interesting, i'll just use whatever i can get my hands on first

I already took off the dealer badge using 3M, I highly recommend this product.

lol...I told the dealer I would *only* buy the car if he removed all his stupid badges and license plate frame. He didn't appear very happy, but I explained to him that for a nominal monthly fee, I would be happy to advertise for him...which led him to removing the decals without any further debate. I'd never seen so much 'car lot' advertising on the cars until I moved to Phoenix. I don't remember that being an issue in NorCal.

3M adhesive remover is the best, its citrus based so it will never harm car paint.

Is this the right 3M stuff?

WD-40 will not hurt the paint/wax?

3m also comes in spray cans too, just make sure you get the one that has the big label saying "safe for most automotive cured paints"

should cost $5-7 a can (got mine at walmart)
