i removed my mouldings on my 2000 silverado and now theres this hair sized glue line all around the outer portion of where the glue tape was. i cant get the damn thing off for the life of me. ive tried scraping it with my fingernail, 3M adhesive remover and another brand as well. all im getting it a "squeaky clean" sound when i rub the stuff on. what else can be done...besides sanding and waxing?

 

bug and tar remover id say would do it, rubbing alcohol works on sticker glue so it ma ywork also

 

Denatured alcohol or 3M Prep Sol

 

heat gun or hair dryer...warm up the glue....an adhesive remover and some elbow grease

 

There is this stuff that you can get at Home Depot called Goof Off. I haven't found anything yet that it can't get off.

 

ok cool. thanks y'all!

 

you took the words right out of my mouth.

 

Elbow grease! Be careful too. I put a coat of bug and tar around the area just in case anything slipped while I was working it would have some protection against a scratch.

I found the 3M Adhesive remover the best. It crystalized that gray glue/foam stuff within about 40 seconds. Once it is crystalized, you can just scrape it off with a plastic razor. Then clean everything up with bug and tar remover.

I think this may have come too late, but I hope everything is working out well. **It takes time.

 

clay bar - it will lift up any contaminates off the paint - use a spray detailer when using the bar
but goof off and goo be gone works very well

 

when i took my emblems off i used claybar and goo be gone. worked very well except for some scratches i got from using a metal paint stripper.
