Paint marks or masking tape residue?

[Rickard_Olsson]

marks from the tape... I tried window cleaning.. something.. :P but it didn´t work :/

Are you using Tamiya masking tape? It doesn't sound like it. This is the best way to prevennt this happening.

If you can't get Tamiya tape, you can first stck your tape to a piece of glass a couple of times to reduce its "stickiness".

To remove the residue, you could try gently rubbing with compound or wax?

I will try that.. Thanks

rubbing alcohol works wonders to remove tape residue as well. don't use any solvent based cleaners though.

Rubbing alcohol is a bad idea on clear parts!
Most of the time the tack from a new piece of tape will remove residue left from the same type of tape.
It will depend if your paint solvent got into the tapes 'stick-um'.
