I have tape on my fenders from my lip. I tried goo gone, and it still is a pain to get off. any other solutions available?

 

get a small bottle of bacardi 151, I used it to get the goo off from the hamburger on the back

 

whyd you take the lip off?

 

It's getting painted, so I want to put new tape on when I put it on.


maxima42 would any liquor work or just bacardi?

 

Get a large bottle, that way, if you still can't get the tape residue off at least you can get drunk and forget about it.



I'd try heating with a hair dryer and scraping with my nails or rubbing alcohol or bug/tar remover or meguiar's body scrub. I'm surprise Goo-Gone didn't work well for you.

Good luck! ! !

 

get everclear, 190% proof and if you have any left over make some jello shots.

 

just 1 question, what kind of double sides tape was used anyway. i haev to redo my rear valence and want some good tape thats yes a pain in the A$$ to get off, its already painted to i dont have to really worry about it. thanx 4 any info.

 

it's some generic industrial stuff my dad has in the shed. Why would you want tape thats easy to remove? The whole point is that it holds well?

 

My front lip and the rear valence is coming of as well. Stillen quality tape, I tell you!

 

drink some more beer

 

this is why my kit doesn't even use tape, its secured by screws all the way around, yea at 100+ that crappy *** tape is REALLY gonna hold on to it...pffttt

 

I use screw also. I only put the tape on the area right next to the fender so the lip sits nice and flush instead of having a gap.

 

max7..i too am polish

 

weird i have no gap and my front lip is held in with a total of 3 screws, 4-5 screws for the sideskirts and 4 screws for each portion of the rear. sits flush and nice gets painted on monday

 

u misunder stood me, i dont want tape thats easy to take off, i said i wanted some tape thats a pain in the @SS to take off, so i want something thats a 1time deal, basically perminent. and yeah max7 it is the original stillen tape, disapointing isnt it. ill just stop by a local body shop or something and pick some up i guess unless u guys know a better place, maybe homedepot? any suggestions? im gonna do it the next time i do my oil change so the cars gonna be a good 4-5ft off the ground be4 is start so that way i have alot more room. alos the rivets that stillen provided are sorry as well. im gonna slightly expand the rivets and get 24 stronger peices.

 

WD 40

 

That's awsome, where are you from?

 

Try WD-40. Spray it on and let it soak in good. THen you should be able to get it to release.

 

Gas would work as well...but you're better off with WD-40

 

I'd use mineral spirits. Gas? that's kinda scary!

 

Just make sure you ain't smokin a joint when your doin it.
