Some scum bag dented my rear door with a shopping cart at home depot. I used that pop's a dent and it sort of worked. However, I'm having a difficult time getting all of the glue off the door. Any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe a tar removal product, but make sure it is meant for use on cars. Try to stay away from laquer thinner or strong solvents that may take off your paint.

3M makes adhesive remover, comes in a can or in a spray, wont hurt paint.

WD-40 works great for glue residue.

Tried that. Not much luck.

try a blow drier to soften it up a little first

or how about this....how do you get gum out of the kid's hair...ice cubes. If heat won't soften it, how about making it harder?

clay bar maybe.

prep all

Try a product called "Goo be gone." It is a citrus based product. Great for taking adhesive sales labels off newly bought retail items. Might work well with your application.

try plain old vinegar and water(50/50 in a spray bottle, or 409 spray, or corn oil works too.

It's been pretty cold in Seattle the last few days. I've made some progress. I'll go find the goo be gone stuff & let you all know. Thanks. Argh!

i was just looking to see if anyone had said this one... id give this a shot for sure.

try paint thiner .that might take it off and wont hurt the paint .if that doesent work .wood cleaner ..is smells .it will hurt the finsh if you get it on the finsh .then buff it out

It warmed up the other day so I tried the WD-40 again. It finally worked...but on closer inspection the pops a dent did not work very well. I'll try it again.

another product is "Goof-off" - similar to Goo-b-gone, but works a bit better imho. have used it many times on big trucks, removing old stickers & lettering - no problems with it harming the finish, altho it does leave a slightly oily residue that will need to be washed off.

pops a dent fail.
