During a window restoration project, I used Duck tape to hold plastic sheeting to the aluminum siding to protect the bare wood of the windows during painting. When the Duck tape was removed, some of the adhesive remained on the aluminum siding. The adhesive has hardened quite nicely and has been almost impossible to remove. This condition is rather unsightly. I need suggestions for removing this adhesive without damaging the paint on the aluminum siding.

Try a product called "Goo Gone"

Use mineral spirits (also lnown as paint thinner). It is a mild solvent, but it really works well on adhesives for some reason!

WD40 is not made for this! you need goo-gone or similar products,, try the paint section in Wal-mart or other stores..most hardware stores carry this too, there are other name brand products that do the same job
