Get ready to rip the skin off your thumbs. After that crap is all dried, you have to RUB THE **** out of it. I rubbed the trunk with the side of my thumbs, I had blisters the next day. You can use a towerl if you want. Use a hairdryer to heat up the glue, but don't heat it up too much because it may damage the paint job. Then after the glue is a little bit heated it should come off easier. Hope this helps. BTW, it looks SWEET wen it's all done .

In the body shop we use prepsol. It's a wax and grease remover, but it works great on removing double sided tape and foam tape.

i did mine in the winter...it was hard but ya i did get stuck on the step your on. but basically just spray it all on and leave it till it dries. I used both a towel and my thumbs and it came off after me using like the first inch of Goo-Gone. I used my nails to scrap it off and it looks good. YOU WILL DEFINETLY HAVE BLISTERS THE NEXT DAY...

Good Luck man

Yeah. I would advise you to use prepsol as joeey said.. Because i had the sticky stuff also on my car, i used goo Gone/Bug & Tar Remover..Still didnt work. So brought it to my pops shop, Got the prepsol, put some on a cloth, and wiped it...then use your thumb and rub on it, and it will come off.. There will probably still be an impression left, just use the polish and it should come off... And Tada..!
