Removing Sticky Rubber Adhesive

[sexmoneydrugs]

I've had a hardtop on my Jeep for the last 3 years - it required 2 strips of insulator rubber adhesive to be applied.

Is there anything safe that I can buy from a local shop that I can use to remove the residual rubber and goo that were left when I pulled off the adhesive? It's on top of a painted, clear-coated area of my Jeep.

I probably should have checked here first before I even tried to pull off the adhesive - so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use Goof-off which is usually pretty good. I also have used Acrysolve (sp?) which is also a good product.

Hi - can I get those at an Autozone or a Wal-Mart?

Thanks very much for the quick replies - as I live in a rural area and am going into the "big city" today The big city basically having a Wal-Mart

I think I've seen the 3M at Wal-Mart in the auto section near the touch-up paints and Bondo.......... if not there try near the tapes and glues.

Watch out for the loose women that hang out in those big cities :chuckle:



And as BigJim posted, I have very good luck with WD-40 too.

I couldn't find the 3M stuff, only the WD-40. Are there any precautions I should take, or is it safe on paint? I take it I just take a paper towel and try to rub it off? I have some Cobra microfiber towels, but those things are stupid expensive.



And Miss Kitty says her girls ain't loose, ain't loose, ain't loose... but the echos convinced me otherwise

The loose women were definitely in favor of that product -



However, as it stands, I have WD-40.

Test it on a small area first, but it has always been paint safe for me. I'd try to use a cheap MF or small cotton towel, you can try a paper towel but it might not work as well. You might have to let it dwell for a little while to dissolve/melt the adhesive residue.

ProSol C61 by Prowax is made to remove silicone and adhesive residue.
