VIDEO: Remove adhesive residue from the paint

The removal of adhesive residue from the paint is not always child's play, older residues that have been on the paintwork for a very long time and have now firmly adhered to it due to frequent exposure to sunlight are particularly stubborn. Read here how you can still proceed if you want to remove ugly glue residues.

How to remove glue residue from the paintwork

• One trick that is usually always very effective is heating the glue. A normal household hot air blower is suitable for this, with which the stubborn adhesive residue is warmed up for about 15 to 20 seconds. Often, after heating for a while, the glue can simply be rubbed off with a dry cloth.
• Ordinary paint cleaner is also worth a try. Please refer to the instructions for the respective product.
• An eraser can also be used to remove adhesive residue from the paintwork. Pay attention to a gentle cleaning, because too strong "erasing" can damage the paint.
• With orange oil, you can usually get rid of glue residue from the paintwork very well. Rub the undiluted oil well into the adhesive residue and, after a waiting time of at least 30 minutes, clean the paint with washing-up liquid.

• Alcohol is just as helpful as oil. The procedure is the same, but you should drizzle the alcohol onto a cloth and use it to smear the glue. The waiting time for alcohol is about 3 to 5 minutes. After removing the adhesive residue, you should always clean the affected areas with sufficient water.
• Nail polish remover is expensive but effective for extremely stubborn residues. To protect the varnish, you should never apply the nail polish remover directly to the varnish, but rather spread it on a cloth and use it to rub off the varnish. Afterwards it is essential to clean thoroughly with water.
