Removing Residual Glue - Help!!

[andrewk]

Need some advise and help here. The double sided tape holding down my rear spoiler finally gave way over the weekend. Bought some adhesive remover spray to remove the tape. However, the are some spots where glue was previously used, and the adhesive remover doesn't work on them. Any idea how i can remove them? Help!!

andrewK,

This problem is on a painted or glass surface? Try soaking the area with some lighter fluid. This should dissolve any residual adhesive frm the surface.

For painted surface, pls wax after to protect the area.

When contaminants get a solid grip on your car's paint, washing alone may not be enough to remove them. Pre-wax cleaners also may not be able to exfoliate large particles. In this case, you have two choices: use a polishing compound, which removes a lot of paint material, or use a clay bar. Clay isn't a polish or a compound, it is a surface preparation bar that smoothes the paint and exfoliates contaminants.
