Question Sticky-stuff removal

Its that sticky-double-sided-foam-tape used to secure the wind deflectors around the front and back windows.

I used nail varnish remover on the plastic which worked well, but didn't fancy using it on the cars paintwork.

Does anyone know of anything which will work?

WD40 is ok.
Also Autoglym tar remover
You could use white spirit as a last resort.
Dont forget to wash the residue away and wax again.

I'd say no to that. Don't ask why cos i don't know
WD40 works well as long as you give it a good wax afterwards

Acetone type products(ie nail varnish remover) will remove paint so I`d stay away from that.. you dont want a dull spot where its been applied.

Surely you can get hold of one of the products I listed easily enough?
