What works the best and fastest to get old dried masking tape off of chrome bumpers?? I used mayo and it works very slowwwwwwwwww... Any ideas would be appreciated!
I don't know where he got it, but a buddy, who owns a body shop, has this little rubber wheel for his angle grinder that takes the molding adhesive and other sticky crap off....and it doesn't burn through paint.
I use the stuff glass guys use for old stickers and such. Loosens glue and doesn't harm paint. Mine is called Super Seal release agent. Glasier supply stores handle it.
The eraser is an awesome tool for taking tape pinstripes, bumper stickers, or vinyl lettering off, I've used a few and with good results. Not sure how well it would work on masking tape though, I think it's designed for the vinyl. Might work.
they pretty much take off everything well. i got 3 or four different types and sizes. great tool , as said, but i wouldnt reccomend a guy go out and spend the $$$ to clean up one bumper, now if ya can borrow it...... skull
If its on chrome, spray some water on it then scrape w/ razor blade. A sharp blade wont damage the chrome.
if it dried up flaky tape then a razor blade works fine if its still gooey almost any cleaner will do it try some fingernail polish remover cheap and easy to get
Yeah, go ahead----use a razor blade on it. Then the first time you see it froom a certain angle in the sunlight. I gaurantee you will shit your pants!!!! Been there, done that, on a 65 mustang about 40 years ago. Get something chemical based to soften it up, then don't scrape it with anything harder than a plastic bodyfill applicator.
Most any petroleum product will help. Goof-Off is good stuff. Don't use steel wool or razor blades if it's nice chrome.
