tint tape goo, how to remove Options

[brianforster]

anything stronger than goo gone? i tried using some and it seems like itd take 3 cans of this stuff and hours of work to get this tint goo off, anyone have any ideas? is there any kind of like super dangerous corrosive chemical i can use to save a couple hours now but shave years off my life?

we use this stuff at work called Unseal/ Undo.....(i work in a frame shop) it takes the paint off the walls (and for kicks is highly flamable) idk how easy it is for someone to personally get, but we have TONS in the shop and it takes all kinds of stuff off, all kinds of surfaces.

Xyelene alcohol knocked me unconscious

xylene is one of the main ingred. in goo gone
it would def work and the fumes in your car would knock you out too or make you puke from coughing

isnt spray and wash a laundry detergent

[WH95TE]

gasoline cleans up anything lol.

Citrus oils in a suspention of another form of the alcohol? Harrr.



I cannot for the life of me remember the laundry spray brandname that we use for cleaning up overspray and or organic adhesives at work. I 'm looking though.

acetone.

get it from any fibreglass suppliers

I second vsideboy, I just scraped off my old tint not long ago and used acetone to get off all the goo, it takes about 5 minutes, just be sure you don't spill any anywhere else on the car. And I just got it at the local hardware store.

yeah go careful with it, cos it melts certain plastics.

for example I had it in a plastic bag with the charger unit for my cordless drill and somehow some (not very much maybe 20ml) leaked out of the container and was in the bottom of the bag in my car. Well luckily the plastic bag survived but there are lots of marks in the underside of the charger where it has melted the plastic and its taken the shape of the plastic bag. I was really surprised.

Dont get it on interior plastics as I tried using it instead of white spirit for cleaning the ash tray hatch and it started to melt that too.

my audio shop actually had this cool little tool that heated up and had a razor blade at the end that got the goo off
