Default So last night I...

Last night I debadged the truck, and I have some stuff left on the paint that I can not get off. It's not sticky however. I tried everything, heating it, goo gone, WD-40... nothing works.

Can someone hook me up with how to get rid of this stuff?

Might try some adhesive remover. 3M works well. Comes in a black metal can and should be available in any automotive section. Might also try lighter fluid...the stuff in the big white plastic container that you use on charcoal. Heck lighter fluid might even work better, and it'd definitely be cheaper. Just don't smoke a cigarette or anything like that while you're using it. Wouldn't wanna set your truck on fire...ha ha. Hope those suggestions help. Good luck.

Your going to need a solvent based cleaner. You can usually find a ton of citrus based ones at walmart etc (check in the normal cleaning areas tho)

It's basically a clay bar that you run over your car/truck to help remove contaminants and dirt particles from your paint. You have to wash your car first, then you apply the clay bar with some special instructions. It helps remove crap off your paint that a simple car washing wont get. It really helps keep your paint looking new and looking good.

Here's a site that'll give you a bit more info...

Ya, Im not gonna lie claybarring is the single most sexiest thing you can do to start a good base to a wax job. I have some pics I can post.. but Im WAY TO LAZY to move three feet to my other laptop. [8D]
