i plan to shave the nissan hamburger off my trunk this weekend...i know that fishing line will do the trick but what is the best stuff to remove the sticky stuff that will remain? and also should i use a hair dryer to heat it up before i use the fishing line??

 

heat it up. rub it off with your fingers
thats it

do it right and this will be the easiest thing you ever do on your car

heat, floss, patience, and fingers.

 

Try Goo Gone or paint thinner. Oh yeah, just kiddin about the paint thinner.

 

For the residue on the trunk, i found fingernails to be most handy in taking that stuff off.. then you'll still have visible imprints of it on the paint.. use goo gone or a similar remover to get it off.. after that you may still see some traces of the hamburger shape on the paint.. but don't worry.. after a few car washes and waxing and buffing, it will look like there was never anything there

 

alright ill try it this weekend...i was also thinking about getting the key hole removed from my trunk...anyone know how much that costs?

 

Definetly try goo gone. That's some good stuff.

 

go easy with the goo gone..itll be kind of bad for the paint if you just slap it on and rub it all in and leave it.

 

use a heat gun to warm up the glue then fishin line to shave then heat gun and (TIP here ) use gloves so you dont burn your finger tips from the hot glue then goof off or goo gone then clay bar or paint cleaner then wax then enjoy I have done over 10 turnks this way with no scraching and no having to wait

 

So where can you find this goo gone?

 

i tried adhesive remover and it didnt work to well.
i also tried wd 40.
finaly my mom suggested olive oil and it actualy seemed to work ok. go figure she is italian.

finger nails works the best, it will take a while but it will work out.

 

oh yeah, instead of your finger nail i finnaly used a plastic spatualla and that worked the best. make sure it is one that wont scratch the paint.

 

Body shops use what looks like a giant pencil eraser on a drill that takes it off. Any body shop supply store will have it.

 

I think you're supposed to use a clay bar (can be found at the Auto parts shop in the wax/cleaner section).

Also Isopropyl Alcohol get rid of adhesive pretty well. Not sure what it will do to the paint though.
