9098 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Some scum bag dented my rear door with a shopping cart at home depot. I used that pop's a dent and it sort of worked. However, I'm having a difficult time getting all of the glue off the door. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffman Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Maybe a tar removal product, but make sure it is meant for use on cars. Try to stay away from laquer thinner or strong solvents that may take off your paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 3M makes adhesive remover, comes in a can or in a spray, wont hurt paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 WD-40 works great for glue residue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9098 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 WD-40 works great for glue residue. Tried that. Not much luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 try a blow drier to soften it up a little first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 or how about this....how do you get gum out of the kid's hair...ice cubes. If heat won't soften it, how about making it harder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster2 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Try a product called "Goo be gone." It is a citrus based product. Great for taking adhesive sales labels off newly bought retail items. Might work well with your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Pin Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 try plain old vinegar and water(50/50 in a spray bottle, or 409 spray, or corn oil works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty cold in Seattle the last few days. I've made some progress. I'll go find the goo be gone stuff & let you all know. Thanks. Argh!

9098 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 It warmed up the other day so I tried the WD-40 again. It finally worked...but on closer inspection the pops a dent did not work very well. I'll try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 another product is "Goof-off" - similar to Goo-b-gone, but works a bit better imho. have used it many times on big trucks, removing old stickers & lettering - no problems with it harming the finish, altho it does leave a slightly oily residue that will need to be washed off.
