Removing glue
Foolishly I stuck some padding onto the rear of the van with gaffer tape, after peeling of the tape it’s left glue remains on the surface!!
Any ideas how to remove itsafly without damaging the paint surface?

Re: Removing glue
My first port of call is always WD 40 when removing labels from jam jars and also the residue left after removing beam benders.
People also swear by petrol, although I have not found need for that.

Re: Removing glue
Rub Johnsons baby oil onto it and leave for 30mins and it will start to come off, you may have to repeat. WD40 will soften it but not as quick. If you can warm it with a hair dryer, that will also help.

Re: Removing glue
I often use this stuff and have found it to work really well, it's not too runny so OK for vertical surfaces. Best if left to soak in for a wee while before rubbing off:

White spirit is good, I’ve used it for gaffa glue.

Re: Removing glue
Good news - WD40 is also the best tar remover I've found.

Re: Removing glue
I have always found that WD40 is a brilliant and non damaging solvent. Particularly good for removing sticky label residue.

My sister advised me to use a mixture of olive oil and bicarbonate of soda, it works a treat

White spirit is deafo the way to go. Have used tapes of all kinds at work and the first port of call is always the White spirit. It will not harm your paintwork.Tigerbadge wrote:White spirit is good, I’ve used it for gaffa glue.

Re: Removing glue
I have found Methylated spirits to be better than white ... certainly smells nicer !
