Started to lose a taillight last week and used peel and stick to hold it in. Anyone know what will remove the residue?

Denatured alcohol works very well for removing adhesives just got to be careful it doesn't discolor the plastic.

yes..brake cleaner leaves no residue..it's the universal solvent..

WD-40, then clean that off with lacquer thinner.

What do you use to clean off the lacquer thinner?

Nothing. It's just a solvent.

WD 40 did nearly nothing. I used a half gallon of goof off and a whole roll of paper towels to get about a square foot off. Took 2 hours, don't ever use this tape for anything temporary.

Man, oh man, this is worse than getting mastic out of a double hung window (guy thought it was like caulk).

Headlights and tailights are safe, but never use it on acrylics like tub handles, it makes them crack / craze - ask me how I know:whistling

Hocus Pocus is the best adhesive remover hands down. You won't find it at any hardware store, but the internet has it.:thumbup:

 

[superseal]

3M adhesive remover from your local auto supply usually does the trick

 

[Marven]

Caution, break fluid and paint thinner can ruin your auto finish big time.

I'll second the denatured alcohol. I've used it to remove the remaining adhesive residue from the pinstriping tape on my truck. Easily removed the residue & didn't damage the paint at all.
