Try lighter fluid and a lot of patience. Make sure you test that fluid on an insconpicuous part of the body to make sure it doesn't harm the paint, but it has always worked for me.

 

Don't use lighter fluid! Wal-Mart sells something called "bug off" or similar which removes adhesives and tar very, very well without any risk to plastics or paint.

[edit]

It also smells like oranges, if that's any help.

 

there's a type of remover I don't know if they sell it in the states but it's called goof off and it works great on just about anything. I know it eats plastics but I'm not surea bout paint

 

Goo Gone - works great!!! Wal Mart sells it too. It also smells like oranges.

 

Autozone sells Bumper sticker remover that will remove it without hurting the paint.

 

Like Lee Lyons said, goof off works well for everything of that sort. But as french said test anything you are trying on som inconspicuous(sp?) part first. Good Luck

 

Buy a heat gun or use a hair dryer and plastic razor blades w/a handle. That, along w/adhesive remover on a rag is what we use at our car dealership.

Works slickernshit. I just removed all the old adhesive on a set of side skirts this way. You can use a regular razor blade, but only if you have the hands of a surgeon.

 

goo gone, goof off, etc are petrolium distillates. Great for removing adhesives without doing much (if anything) to paint. Most of them also are scented that lovely orange.

Best bang for the buck.

 

Pretty much anything with works even a soap and water liquid might work but check first on something to make sure you don't get any discoloration or peeling of paint before putting it on your car.

 

I heard a pressure steam cleaner would take them off...at least that was the service they offered in '96 to remove certain bumper stickers for a certain president.

 

3M Adheasive Remover.

 

yeah, pressure washer takes bumper stickers off....

 

Crashing into stuff helps....but it has to be the right angle. It might take a few times, and a few Rx7s....but you'll get the hang of it.

 

Why can't you use lighter fluid? I've used it often without problems and no damage to paint. I'll have to try that orange stuff next time and compare results.
