Best method to get rid of double-sided tape?
First off, Hello ( just registered ) 
Ok, I have a 98' cavalier Z24. I decided to take off the side moldings. easy enough.
But I have tried and tried to get rid of the double-sided tape left on my car off.
I tried hot-soapy water, a steamer, , , nothing seems to work
please help, what can I do to get rid of it?

Worst comes to worst you could always put them back on and wait until you do the bodywork and get it painted to take them off.

Re: Best method to get rid of double-sided tape?
I used gas......yes gas to get the glue off of where my badges were. Just put a little on a rag and stared rubbing. the stuff came off perfectly and with no damage to the paint. Now I guess its a risky thing and you can try it if you want.

yup as long as you dont let the gas sit on there then your ok. After I was done wiping it with the gas I took soapy water and scrubed it right away then hosed it off.

Re: Best method to get rid of double-sided tape?
wut i found works best is to rub it off when its dry with ur fingers. the only bad thing about that, is that i got blisters on my thumbs when i was done. then when its off , just wash down the area and wax it or wut not. it looks good when its all done.

Re: Best method to get rid of double-sided tape?
Finally found something that worked.
I went to autozone for a couple of things and while I was there I asked a sales person there what they thought would be best, they pointed me to OOPS!
Works like a charm. I will post pics once I am finished removing it all.

Re: Best method to get rid of double-sided tape?
Hmm i took off the dealer badges and some stikers with a hair dryerand my hands. I dunno if it was double sided tape or glue on the badges, but it only left a bit of residue which came off witha good waxing. But glad you found something, might try that if I ever have to.
