Need help to clean residue of paint tape

Goo Gone works, you should be able to find it at your local hardware store.

 

Get the automotive version.

 

I used goo gone with heat gun to remove my old HOV sticker on my 2017Prime. No issue on the paint.

 

Did you try wd-40?

 

If you don't have Goo Gone, WD40 (or any similar petroleum distillate) was great at removing residue on CD/DVD jewel case seals (remember them?)

 

Those side emblems are just double sided tape on.

I would have used fish tape to remove the emblems, then you can be as messy as you want with painting the emblems.

Or leave them off completely like I did (see my avatar pic).

Go emblemless.

 

Kerosene? Or it’s one of the main ingredients in WD40 anyway. Still, avoids dealing with another spray can down the road (I’ve got more’n my share).

 

Is that a glossy plastidip? When I used it on my old truck a while back it was very flat/matte.


2011 Prius w/ solar roof (RIP)
2019 Prius (traded)
2013 Prius
2021 Prius Prime
(In that order)

 

Inspired me. Did the plastidip treatment to mine. Posted pics in another thread about modifications to Primes. Thanks.
