tape residue

[Frank]

Can someone please tell me what will remove masking tape adhesive residue without damaging the paint.

what kind of tape and paint did you use?

DO NOT use adhesive remover, grease and wax remover, or Alchohol. I tried the three of those and it clouded my paint and would not buff out.

How long did you leave the tape on ? You could try "Goof Off " with a Q tip but you need to be very careful. Remember to use quality tape and don't leave it on any longer than you have to.

I used both Tamiya paint and tape

I use only Tamiya tape. I left the tape on overnight on a warm night.

Rub your finger against the side of your nose and buff with that. The natural oils from your skin should remove any residue.

Wow, that works, something so simple and natural.

The easiest way I have ever found (and this goes back better than 40 years!) to remove tape "residue" is with more of the same tape! Just press a piece of masking tape down on the residue, and lift up--that has removed any and all tape residue every time I've done it!
