Wow, the 3M product is incredible. It removed the adhesive residue from a tennis racket head protection tape that was probably 30+ yrs old without much effort.

As old sign guy, I can tell you lighter fluid (naphtha) is the go to... It dries quickly and is safe on every surface type. No residue whatsoever. And it just works better than anything else.

Wooohooo! WD-40 did it. Thank you for saving me a lot of time. I vinyl wrapped the roof of my 4Runner and the hail and weather eventually tore up the vinyl and after removing it i had a lot of spots with glue and mud caked on. This took care of it beautifully.

The WD 40 works amazingly well!! Thanks so much!!

Yes, thanks for the suggestions. 3-IN-ONE Multiple purpose OIL has worked! Greetings from Croydon, south of London

3M adhesive remover works just fine. Golfers who do their own re-grips know "golf grip solvent" is one of the best adhesive/glue/label removers you'll ever find.

Thank you!! I tried nail polish remover, a paste, and then I tried this on a glass jar and it worked sooo fast and easy! You saved me so much time !!

I deal with glues and contact adhesives on a daily basis. The best way to get any of them off is with Xylol or mineral spirits (xylol is just a better grade of mineral spirits). It takes some elbow grease in some cases, but if you keep after it, mineral spirits will work. You are absolutely right about goo gone, it is worthless. Mineral spirits is way less expensive than the 3 M product, which is probably just mineral spirits anyway.

Thank you!! It helped me remove some caulk film on my travertine tiles in the bathroom ❤❤❤👍👍👍

Big fan of the 3M adhesive remover, little pricey but it works. Professional product - professional results, fairly quickly, won't damage paint.

You sir are a genius! I just bought a brand new vent hood. Literally the whole grill 30 inches filled with stuck on glue 😡😡😡😡 That WD40 took it right off

I have used the 3M adhesive remover. Amazing product !

Thanks for sharing these products. I have a job to remove adhesive from my fiberglass shower. I hope the WD40 works for me as well as it did for you. If not, I'll try the other product.

Great tip! Thank you!

Hard to find but rubber cement thinner is excellent. Wont harm finishes. Can find at art stores. Sometimes.

When I saw you scrubbing your pint with a paper towel Ilost any confidence on what you are doing. Paper towel is very abrasive. And also that spot at 6.39 was never gone completely, what a joke.

Thanks! I’m buying the 3M cleaner tomorrow definitely.

Thank you for the tip

Pressure washer at 2000 psi and blast the residue off. Just dont get too close that you strip the clear coat. Another trick i got is using a DA buffer, a couple soft pads and use an optical grade cutting compound at mid high speed

Thanx for the info.I have heavy protector pealing.

Great video, thanks

I tried some mineral spirits yesterday , and I've tried WD40 today, but the 3M adhesive is still stubborn. I guess I should try the 3M adhesive remover. Unfortunately, it's not for sale in CA, and I also couldn't find the Evo stick... I'll buy from your link - my fingers and toes crossed! Thanks so much! Syma

I use Goofoff in the gallon size container to remove the adhesive under vinyl wraps. It works very well.

If the glue is fresh you can use the sticker/label to remove the glue we do this with labels a lot time in the print industry. Though for my suoer dried out glue on a old E36 I have is not so easy so checking out videos that may help xo

The 3M Adhesive Remover is also available in a spray can, which is what I have.

Paint thinner/mineral spirits. Or spend $$$ for auto wax remover, as you'll need to rewax anyway. Surface-specific products like the 3M are going to be pricier but safer, but basic paint thinner is a relatively mild solvent, and hard industrial finishes like car paint aren't going to be affected, unless it creeps under the edges of fine cracks or rust spots.

Thanks Cliff. WD-40 worked like actual sorcery. Cheers!

Thank you for the video it was very well done and I like how you asked for subscriptions and thumbs up that was done very well also

I hope you are right! None of the other methods have worked! My tape has been on my windows for two years (decorations) I'm sure this makes it more of a challenge.

I don't usually like or dislike videos, but your Nanny State comment got you a THUMBS UP!

Steam works great for sticker removal

Great video Mr. Miyagi. Wax on wax off. 😆 🤣 😂

Thank you!!!

Cosmoline, that wonderful (lol) undercoating that Mini (BMW) so generously squirts into the void spaces of the hood, to prevent salt water spray from causing rusting issues, as the cars are shipped over from Europe. 2 summers in a row, the Cosmoline has melted in our Texas summer heat, oozing out of hood, and appearing on the front fenders. Glad to know WD40 will cut through that crap.

Wow thanks for great tips. WD40 worked wonders.

Most label adhesives are oil-soluble. Rub a bit of any oil (e.g., canola, olive, Crisco, whatever) on it, let it soak in for a few hours, and wipe off. If that doesn't work, orange oil (d-limonene) usually does--same stuff as in Fast Orange, Goop hand cleaner, etc. Just beware that orange oil can remove paint.

Good information

Cliff, the adhesive on price stickers is that way because there are those among us who are inclined to exchange the higher priced sticker for a lower priced sticker.

I use xenit at work. It works great!

Of course you have to be careful what you use because if you're using said product(s), if you have to rub it hard, there's a good chance of taking the clear coat off, especially on plastics.

Use mineral spirits. Thats what adhesive companies use to clean up their machines. They use acetate also but that that stuff is pretty harsh.

Rapid remover. Citrus based remover works great!

Hi, what would you suggest for removing glue residue from vinyl interior?

Hi I found your channel today. I have a Peugeot Partner 1.6 Hdi diesel. I had a main computer failure. And the car start to smoke a lot. I repaired that. But now I have a problem with greasy unburned fuel mostly on back of my car. Car is a regular white collar not metallic. And is the factory paint job. Can you recommend me something to clean this mess without hurting my paint ? Thank you !

I use citronella oil and it's the best I've used and it's cheap. I had some baked on duct tape residue from the sun and it was incredible.

Evo-Stik adhesive cleaner is similar in composition to the 3M cleaner, but cheaper.

My 3M can has a small spout with cap on it. Works fine

I removed a sticker on my new motorcycle and used heat and goo gone, it still left behind some spots do you think the 3m would help where it’s dried and been on there a while now

I though viniger and baking soda could fix all :) Thanks for the video.

The best and cheapest I've found is charcoal lighting fluid, just put a bit on and a couple minutes later wipe the glue off. Does not harm most paints or materials.

I have always found lighter fluid for a zippo lighter works great also

The absolute best product that I use to remove decal/sticker adhesive residue is Aero Conquest degreaser & odor counteractant (aerosol can). I use it on all kinds of surfaces including paint, plastic (abs, polypropylene etc) all metals. Spray a decent coat covering the residue. Leave for 5 minutes, using a plastic or rubber scraper that won’t scratch the surface, scrape off the residue. thicker amounts of residue may require a second treatment. Spray one more time and using a rag or paper towel to wipe clean. I always follow up with 70% isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) to neutralize any residual product just in case. This stuff is FANTASTIC ! AWESOME ! It’s all organic, biodegradable, no chlorinated or fluorinated solvents, no petroleum distillates and has a fantastic citrus smell.

Wax and grease remover works great

Hi, I have an old vinyl fabric headliner with old, darkened glue residue in the corners. Any suggestions? I’m ready to replace the headliner, so I don’t mind experimenting…just in case I can save it.

Acetone or nail polish remover works great.

Damn, wish I would have seen this video BEFORE I purchased the Goo and struggled to get some sticker residue off my truck...and the resulting Goo over spray!

I have sticker residue on the fake leather dash on my new car by the delivery driver. What’s the best way to remove it without damaging the fake leather stuff? I don’t want to end up with a greasy/bleached dash

I have the SDS for the 3M product here in front of me. A few of the highlights include flammable vapors, harmful/fatal if inhaled, dizziness, fetal damage, cancer, organ damage, nervous system damage, etc. I think I'll pass. If you use it, at least move air in working space, wear gloves and use safety glasses. Best wishes on all your adhesive removal adventures!

Does WD-40 remove double sided thick adhesive on auto emblem/decal badges on your car?

Spray 3M adhesive remover the glue then cover up with plastic sheeting wait a few minutes pull a corner up see if the glue has melted it holds the solvent to the glue instead of evaporating

Thanks WD 40 thumbs up

Acetone, fingernail polish remover works excellent.

Isopropyl alcohol (70 or 91%) or mineral spirits are my usual sticker remover go to's. WD-40 isn't too bad but I seldom use or even stock in my shop this current EPA ruined almost useless version. The dedicated goo removers can damage paint as I found with a painted aluminum sided RV

Amway use to have a product that's always worked for me. Bug and Tar remover

3m 5 way in excellent!

eucalyptus oil works just fine too

WD 40 is what the wording says. WATER DISPLACEMENT 40. It was designed for the Military and Aerospace industry to displace moisture . It took 40 attempts to get the water displacing formula worked out , but they must have been really good, because the original secret formula for WD-40® Multi-Use Product -which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th try-is still in use today.

Wouldn't glue that would be easy to remove also mean that whatever it is holding be susceptible to falling off easily ? I have found on really tough glue residue a rubber wheel in a drill works great as long as you do not stay to long in one spot on painted services such as automobiles . Good Video !!

Will oil based makeup remover work?

WD-40 is a product to displace water and it was designed by NASA you’re correct. It is not a lubricant but a water displacing product in its 40th version hence WD for water displacement and number 40 as the 40th version from NASA.

Vegetable oil for the win!

Hi, what can I use to remove vandalism paint from my car

I was going to try Dawn Dish Soap until I saw this I had my car wrapped and the company that removed the wrap left a lot of stuff on my car.

Formula 409 also works great.

Will it remove tire sling the3m

I agree that Goo Gone is wothless. I find that Goof Off does a good job

Goo Gone worked for me on some plastic bowls!! I guess to each its own!! ☹️☹️

ACETONE works well too, but it cannot be left on clear coat for too long.

WD stands for water displace ment

Question…. I took my sticker off my Tacoma Truck in 90 degree weather, use goo gone which was decent but I was left with this haze/cloud in the general area. How can this be avoided? It wouldn’t even wash off .

After you use the we 40 which will remove top hard to get off, Once you clean it the residue finished of with alcohol. 😂

Adhesive from hell: 3D Printer PEI Sheet adhesive... the PEI plastic is almost thinner than the high temp adhesive... and pulls off perfectly clean leaving the full adhesive layer behind on the spring steel... I'm curious if the 3M product would work like the OLD SCHOOL paint remover that you could brush it on (it was gel even) that you left on there and shortly later you could just wipe all the paint off. Ran across your video looking for solutions for my dumb problem.

What happened to good old fashioned lighter fluid?

Will 3M adhesive remover harm my dashboard in any way? I'm wanting to mount a phone holder but don't want to ruin or discolor my dash.

Car dashboard safe?

I had Turtle Wax paste crinkle up and ruin my Clear-Coat. I am very suspicious of this. At least use it lower down on an inconspicuous place. I would rinse off any solvent with a generous amount of water.

the best thing about GOO GONE is the catchy name but it doesn't work well at all

Removed crappy california hov lane stickers 2 thumps up for 3m and this video

Pure essential oil Lemon works on everything inside my house

Use a heatgun when removing the decal, leaves less residue from the start.

What about super glue?

you can just go to your nearest dollar store and buy totally awesome cleaner. I used it to remove adhesive on all different types of surfaces. it might not take out stubborn adhesive, but all you need to do is spray it and let it soak and you can do it a few times and then just wipe. if it doesn't take it all off in the first try just keep doing it you should have to do it so many times and the best part is that it will cost you less than $1.50 for a 24 oz bottle.

How to clean plexiglass

AFTA .....Not easy to find it anymore.

From my experience WD-40 never works for truck placards.

Mmm I don’t know but there is hardly any adhesive left there. That can be easily clean with a fiber cloth and soap.

This stuff would just laugh at goo gone😂

The best stuff to use is tar remover from a company called "gap"! Bassically spray it on leave it for a cpl seconds then wipe Er off. It comes as a concentrated solution so u add a small ammount of water to it..... This is what we used when j was a professional car detailer years ago ;).... That stuff also works awesome to remove the tar spots on the side of your car

Spray the WD40 on the rag instead of over the car. Less mess.

So..your methods are definitely sound and work just fine however a micro fiber cloth and GooGone works as equally well..so saying GooGone sucks i feel is an inaccurate..for it has worked on multiple projects...also dont use paper towels..micro fiber cloth or non abrasive cloth
