I just recently bought a yellow 2006 cobalt LS coupe. It had a set of black racing stripes on it. The material was cheap, and had some air bubbles in it, so I decided to peel them off.

I got them easily without a hitch. Only issue now is, there's a layer of sticky residue where the stripes were, and it's very noticeable. It looks like I have stripes that are just a different shade of yellow now.

I tried using goo-be-gone to get it off, but it wasn't working unless I scratched it with my fingernail, but I can't do the whole thing like that.

Any suggestion of things I can use to scrape this stuff off? Or maybe some other method altogether? Thanks guys!

 

try getting a heat gun and a putty/bondo craper. heat it up and then use that to work it off. you will definitely need to buff and wax the areas where the stripes were though after you get this off

 

like he said heat gun works the best. when i got my first vehicle it was my dads company vehicle that had a 1'X1' banner that had been on the side for 11 years... heat gun allowed me to peel that gooey crap right off sooo easily.

 

well coming from working for a dealership and taking off this kind of **** all the time a heat gun will work yes, but maybe try a solevent or lacquer thinner and a micro fiber rag. just dont push to hard...and if you really wanna get into it try an eraser wheel...they work wonders

 

laquor thinner works. Medium reducer works. erasor wheel can work but not necassary here and odnt use it on plastic parts or its dangerous. just take some thinner on a rag and wipe it off. if you heat it up itll help it come off easier

 

Wd-40 ftw!

 

Goo-gone or gas will do it

 

first of nice thread title I thought i was coming into some gay masturbation thread haha..

But use a heat gun then use a plastic scraper to scrap it off the plastic scraper wont scratch like a metal one would.

 

X2 Just a tiny bit and rub HARD and very SLOWLY with your thumb against the edge of the sticky stuff as if you were trying to roll it up into a ball. WD40 is Gods gift to the automobile just like baking powder is to the kitchen. Did you ever read the history of WD40? Very interesting. Here it is;
