Hey
about a month ago someone kindly reversed into my car and knocked the front bumper loose so that it was hanging on the left side. to stop it flapping i threw some clear fibrous tape on it to get me by for a while and now that i have taken the tape off to attmpt to fix it its left a claer layer off tape beneath the fibres which wont budge. i trude dissolving it in water and turps and then tried to wash it off but still no dice. if anyone has any suggestions they would be muchly apprecioated. Cheers |

I would go to your friendly Super Cheap (or equivalent) and buy some Wax and Grease remover and have a shot at it with that, I might take a while but it should do the job for you.

Super Cheap will have it, comes in Spray cans and also paint on. The brand is Septone. It's alright to use.

white spirits will move it, but it will need a wash and polish after

Try some WD 40. Yes i know its a lubricant but it also says on the can it has multi purposes and it does have the potential to remove glue residue. I have used it for this purpose.

methalated spirits will remove with no residue, might need to use elbow grease to help remove but should come off with rag
