goo-gone and patience.

edit: goo-gone can be found at Walmart, and other such retailers.

Walmart by me doesn't have "Goo-Gone." They have another fine product called "Oops!"

Same thing though.

Get some 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner from NAPA. It works wonders on stubborn glue residue.

Headlight project in the future? Mine were actually yellowed at the top edges..Much careful wetsanding (mask off the fenders/bumper), buffing, plastX, they work well now, not perfect looking though. Looks good without the ding guards I need mine, even in my own driveway:nonono:

im afraid my clear coat will come off with it. one bottom edge has a tiny bit of clear coat pulling away from the paint on the door. grr

Try Liter fluid, AKA, Zippo fluid, it takes anything off, but GooGone Should do it.

I used goo gone and my thumbs... it was a PITA and painful... but it did the trick... I started with the pass. side and it looks great.. then rear drivers side door.. again.. looks great...

Then I do my drivers door... and to my surprise the door had been painted in the past.... :help:must have been a cheap place because they didn't remove the ding gueards and just painted over them Leaving a WONDERFUL stripe... Grrr...

Plastic spatula (sp) I used it and about 30 sec later it was all off. DO IT!!

Why? Its not going to scratch it. I did it and i'd do it again.

I'm with you Bill.

I took the guards off of a dark green Contour and a black Silverado with an old AAA card. Worked great, saved my fingers and not a mark on either vehicle.

I saturated the glue with Goo-Gone, let it sit for a few minutes, the held the AAA card at an angle and took the adhesive right off.
