How to Remove Glue from a Car Body
Glue can be a pain to remove, especially from a car body. But don’t worry, there are a few easy ways to do it.
What You’ll Need
- Goo Gone
- Rubbing alcohol
- WD-40
- Soft cloths
Step 1: Choose the Right Solvent
The type of solvent you use will depend on the type of glue you’re trying to remove. If you’re not sure what type of glue it is, start with Goo Gone. Goo Gone is a safe and effective solvent that can remove most types of glue.
Step 2: Apply the Solvent
Apply the solvent to a soft cloth and gently rub it onto the glue. Be sure to avoid getting the solvent on any painted surfaces.
Step 3: Let the Solvent Sit
Allow the solvent to sit on the glue for a few minutes. This will give the solvent time to break down the glue.
Step 4: Wipe Away the Glue
Once the solvent has had a chance to sit, use a clean soft cloth to wipe away the glue. Be sure to wipe in the direction of the grain of the paint.
Step 5: Rinse the Area
Once you’ve removed the glue, rinse the area with water to remove any remaining solvent.
Step 6: Dry the Area
Use a clean soft cloth to dry the area.
Tips
- If the glue is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat steps 2-4 multiple times.
- Be sure to test the solvent on an inconspicuous area before using it on the entire car body.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your car body.
Conclusion
Removing glue from a car body is a relatively easy task. By following these simple steps, you can get your car looking like new again in no time.
