    Re: Goof Off vs 3M Adhesive Remover vs Brake Cleaner for removing sticky stuff

    I suspect part of the issue with due to the thickness of the tape...

    I just googled it and the tape was even thicker that the one in this video for example purposes

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEgPhn7Zvhk

    Did not do a dwell and soak as to some degree, it flashes off quick and I had a long strip to do..basically the running length of 2 doors. Besides, I did not want to run out of product and find out I still have double tape left as my jug was about half a quart

    Maybe apply some heat while removing trim with tape on might have helped on the initial peel, but this was fresh paint, and I did not want to mess with the paint too much....

    Yes and tarminator. Tarmintor was more effective getting/softening the tape. 3M was my last step remover - where it got the paint/tape more clean. I was also employing a small plastic scraper *about 1/2 or so wide*, scraping with towels. A bunch of different chems and media used to remove it. I`m sure the wheel would have removed it, but then I would probably be doing just as much work repolishing the area..

    mobiledynamics- Ah, OK thanks for explaining. Yeah, I use plastic razor blades all the time with the 3M. Interesting about the Tarminator, gee...I don`t have any Tar Removers these days so I never think of that.
