The Dodge Durango had sticker residue from its time as a fleet vehicle. Time to get it off using some household items.

    I enjoyed this too much. Love that you tried things that everyone has in their homes. Great video!
  • Hey Chris, thanks for posting these videos, they sure help to break the monotony of lockdown here in Scotland. Any time I remove adhesive residue, I feel Zippo lighter fluid works very well for me. It breaks down the adhesive without damaging paint.
  • What a great video. The gentleman giving the presentation from East Coast Classics was awesome. Thank you very much !

    I had some walnut oil in the cabinet and it worked as well, thanks alot for this tutorial
  • Around 30 years ago, my parents bought an old ambulance complete with all of the decals still in tact. They took it to a family gathering and had about 12 members of the family descend upon the hapless ambulance with rags and cans of starting fluid. We managed to get all of the decals off and also subsequently destroyed copious amounts of brain cells!! 😂

    I bought a rubber wheel for my drill, it took off the adhesive off from a piece of trim in no time! Enjoy all your videos!
  • Hi Chris, thanks for this video, now i don't have to do trial and error, i know the right substance to get those mess off.

    Wood Furniture polish like pledge does a good job too for sticky labels.

    3M rubber erase wheel. Attaches to a drill and takes off stickers, pinstripes, etc. Available in any auto parts store.

    3m adhesive remover is worth it... saves alot of time... looks good..
  • Hey Chris, great video, you could use goof off wipes, also I use a steamer to remove window tint and it got the glue pretty good. Would probably work on paint also.

    I have a label and adhesive remover from turtle wax it was $5 at Walmart it sprays on let it sit and it will literally wipe off

    cooking oil and napkins has always ALWAYS worked for me.

    Car was sitting in the sun @ 25C, Took a spray car of olive oil to the adhesive. Starting dissolving away immediately on the thin strips. Allowed it to sit for a minute or 2, started washing/rubbing it off with a microfibre cloth. Thin adhesive came of with a rub, thick had to move work , and added spray oil to the cloth. Off it all came.

    Good day to you my friend. This is your friend Ted from Texas. Two things that I used it seem to work was carburetor cleaner and alcohol. Multiple applications of both seem to work pretty good. I used rubbing alcohol and just continuously rub it on and it seemed to take it off. Carburetor cleaner seem to work as well. You may want to give them a shout I mean they shot let's see how well you do with that. Neither one hurt the paint but I did wash and clean the surface when I was done to get all of the alcohol off. Stay safe my friend see you in the next video.
  • What about Goo Gone? Isnt that what its literally designed for? I think I've used that few times on stuff like this and it okay.
  • @waynenob1
    Alcohol hasn't failed me yet. I generally will wax the area after I'm done. Alcohol works great on the windows too.

    I use a power washer to remove some of the residue. I found that it would remove 70% of the residue and the rest I would use some goo gone.
