How to Remove 3M Tape From a Car

A two-step technique is necessary to remove 3M tape from a vehicle. Initially, the tape must be removed. Unfortunately, regardless of what you do, there is always a chance that some paint will come off with the tape, although working slowly and carefully helps lessen this risk.

The second step entails removing any residual glue, which may need to be repeated multiple times.

Here are four steps on how to safely remove 3m tape from car

Step 1: Soak a rag or cloth in water that is too hot to touch. Focusing on the edge, position the fabric over the tape. Wait until the cloth begins to cool before removing it. The tape’s adhesion is loosened by the heat.

Step 2: Use a plastic razor blade or a plastic paint scraper to raise the tape’s edge with care. Metal will damage and scratch the paint, therefore avoid its use. After lifting the edge, softly peel back the tape. You can remove the paint using the tape, so do not peel too hastily. Repeat Step 1 as necessary until the tape is completely removed.

Step 3: Shake the 3M adhesive remover container. Spray the remnants of the tape. Give it one to two minutes to absorb the residue. Cool to room-temperature water should be used to wet a cloth. Remove tape residue and adhesive remover by wiping the area. As necessary, repeat until no residue remains.

Step 4: is to fill a bucket with warm water and liquid dish soap or car cleaning soap. Saturate a sponge with the soapy water. Remove the tape from the automobile’s surface. This guarantees that all residue from the tape and adhesive remover is eliminated. Remove soap residue by rinsing the area. To prevent wet marks, dry with a towel.
