How to remove vinyl top glue from paint
« on: March 01, 2008 - 05:44:12 PM »
I need to remove some vinyl top glue from the car paint.  What product do I use to remove the glue without damaging the paint? Its the area right around thr vinyl top moulding.

3M probably make an adheasive remover that won't damage paint.  I'd try wax & grease remover or iso alcohol.  Elbow grease may need to be applied. :2cents:

I tried wd40 first than Goo-Gone and alot of elbow grease.  It worked.
