Removing Sticky Adhesive from my Car Surface?

Question

Some clown put a vinyl adhesive sticker (a big one) on my hood at a concert last night (06' Acura TL). I peeled it off today (in the heat..not smart), but the glue is still on the paint. Any suggestions on how to remove it without ruining the finish?

Answer 1

A product called goo-gone. If not use gasoline but be sure to wash it off after.

Answer 2

Goo Gone is by far the best stuff to use for getting sticky adhesive off. I have used it on both my windows and my paint on previous cars. But just to warn you, my buddy used a knock off brand and it left a wierd finish on his paint, so make sure to buy the stuff that is made for auto paint, and even then, when you use it, first test it in an inconspicuous spot, like the door jam, and wait a few minutes to make sure it is safe to use.
Good Luck
BTW, the TL is one of my all time favorites.. I own an 05 Accord EX V6 coupe with navi and 6 speed manual trans.

Answer 3

Hold your shorts stop worrying! Simply spray the sticky surface with WD-40 and it'll roll right off with a paper towel. Re -wax the surface when you're done.

Answer 4

rubbing alcohol will also remove this and not harm the paint any either,and kerosene or a product called goo-b-gone will also work well on getting it off,wal-mart or k-mart will have the goo-b -gone,it does good on sticky surfaces,good luck with it.

Answer 5

Try a little rubbing alcohol on a rag.

Answer 6

Use vegetable oil...let it soak and rub, rub, rub with a papertowel.
Cheapest way I think.

Answer 7

kerosene or charcoal lighter, rub GENTLY so as not to scratch the finish
