how to remove left over bmf glue from paint

[Scalper]

How do you remove the left over bmf glue from the paint?

After I peel the bmf off the body.. the glue is left behind and looks awfull.

please help.

Thanks

A little bit of carnuba wax or Novus #1 of a soft polishing cloth should remove it.

Rub your finger against the side of your nose and buff with that. The natural skin oils will take that glue residue right off.

I would try a cloth dampened with 70% rubbing alcohol.

2 thumbs up for the free answer! I never thought of that

[slusher]

I just rub it off with my finger, shines up on final wax.

Thanks guys I tried with my finger and did not work well on black paint.. the bmf I am using is model master stuff.

what about dish soap and water? I will try the nose thing too.. I will try everything one time ..

tks

Model Master as in Testors or Detail Master? I wasn't aware of Testor having foil. I have tried Detail master and let's just be nice and say I will stick with BMF.

sorry yes detail master. stuff. Its the only one i could find at the time,. and that is all I have been using.. cant wait to try to real stuff one day.. maybe I would not be having this issue with the glue.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. That stuff is nasty. I would try Roger's suggestion with the alcohol.

We have some stuff called "Sticky Stuff Remover" which is sort of orange-smelling. It's intended for getting tape or sticker residue off (eg price stickers, or when your kids plaster their beds with Snoopy stickers and want to replace them with Bratz ones five years later). It works a treat, and has no effect on paint or gloss coated areas (though check for YOUR paint and gloss first, obviously). Came from a homeware store in the cleaning products section. Lemon juice might work as well...

do you mean Goo Gone.stuff?. My wife has a big thing of that stuff in storage

[Blown03SVT]

Goo Gone should work pretty well. I use that on my 1:1 car to get rid of bug guts. I would assume lightly dampening the towel or cloth and gently rubbing the adhesive off. Make sure to try it on the underside of the body on the overspray where you cannot see to see if it will attack the paint before getting after the glue on the shiny side. I suppose when you get the chance or the money you could pick up a sheet of BMF and ease your frustration next time. I have almost a whole sheet of the DM stuff I cannot give away.

A drop of goo-gone on an old t-shirt.

Novus 2 will take it right off without harming your paint .

Here is a shot of my bmf other stuff nightmare

[CrazyGirl]

yikes what a shame , i sure hope you can clean it up

[Blown03SVT]

it will clean up if your patient. My suggestion is to not use that foil again. the paint is nice on that car. I would use a silver sharpie before I used that foil again. What a nightmare!

[Exotics_Builder]

I would try a cloth dampened with 70% rubbing alcohol.

Don't consider that if your using synthetic lacquer paints like Testor's. It will rub some of the paint off.

Thanks Gerry... I am going to test do goo gone. when I stop venting on the weekend.

Rub your finger against the side of your nose and buff with that. The natural skin oils will take that glue residue right off.

I was also told that this method is good for giving interiors a slight shine like leather. Paint the interior with a flat coat, then rub the nose grease on the high points.

Most important.. it's the stuff on the OUTSIDE of your nose, not the INSIDE! And it's free!

[Scalper]

Just want to let you all know. Thank you so much for the tips and advise. Looks like the goo gone worked like a charm....the caprice is back on the bench and ready to go. Wish me luck with the foil.

Thanks.
