two years of tape on my moonroof can finally come off!!!!! THANK YOU
Lol, no problem! Thanks for the comment
Thank you. This video helps me a lot. Duct tape residue no more!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated.
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Sure, no problem! Thanks for the feedback
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a life saver!
You're welcome! Thank you for the comment
Thanks for this video, you just saved me a lot of time working in this heat.... .👍👍👍
No problem 👍
This exactly the information I was looking for. 👍
Great, glad it was helpful.
Same here
Thank you as well
OK THANK YOU. You saved my butt. Contractor cleaning our driveway to patch pot holes. High power blower shoots rocks at the car and broken window. I used shipping tape to hold cardboard on and tape is on the paint. My wife is NOT HAPPY with me. So when the window is replaced we will use your method of gasoline and quick cleanup to restore paint from my bad decision.
Lol, no problem, just after the remove the residue use clean water the soap to clean off the gas residue as well.
Looks like the gasoline works well. Thanks for the tip.
No problem 👍
Bro, I thought the same thing I tried rubbing alcohol it first and I thought gasoline so way to do it and you’re probably right I’m gonna go try it but I’m glad you said it. Hopefully my paint won’t come off too. Thank you.
Sure, no problem. Factory paint only i would recommend this on. Try a small test spot first then immediately wash with soap and water.
Gas shouldn't hurt the paint either cause I always get gas drips on the side under the gas tank filler tube. Great idea, thanks! 🙏
Sure no problem and appreciate the insight!
Thank you so much for this information. Now, I can remove 2 years of duct tape from the top of car.(My sunroof shattered and I've had to use 3M masking tape and a heavy duty clear shower curtain to cover my sunroof on a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta)
No problem, just clean off residue with soap and water afterwards. Good luck
Just saw your video, thank you for the information that really worked. Keep up the informed videos, they save us lots of money.
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback!
yea i was stupid and put electric tape over the sunroof edges, typical BMW leaking sunroof and i tried getting it off with a razor blade and no luck this saved me dude! thank u, also my buddy said rubbing alcho worked to
Glad I could help! Thanks for the feedback
I inherited a 2003 Buick Century with only 48K miles on it. However, the previous owner duct taped the drivers side back window up due to malfunctioning window regulator. It has since been fixed. This is the information I needed. I tried various residue removers, but they have been insufficient. I guess I’ll have to go borrow some gasoline from a neighbor as they own lawnmowers, and I don’t. Thanks for a very helpful video!
Sure, no problem.
Thank You. My brother did this and now I get the joy of cleaning it up. Microfiber towel will minimize the the potential scratching and subsequent polishing .
No problem! Thanks for the feedback!!!
Thank you so much 😊 you solved my problem I was embarrassed to drive my Mercedes around looking like ashes flying off of my car from that withered duct tape 😢😂
Lol, no problem, glad it helped!
That’s crazy because my Mercedes has the same thing we’re both on the same boat 😂
Big thumbs up!! 👍🏽 thank you!!
Thank you too! Appreciate the feedback
Great video man my scat pack is looking real nice now 😁😁
Awesome bro! Thank you too!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you! Will use on my Mercedes C43. Has been sitting at Copart with their tape.
No problem, good luck!
Hi Thank you so much. I ended up using white gas from my camping stove. It was easier for me than pumping gas into a gas can for me. just a suggestion.
Hey, no problem, thanks for the extra tip, maybe it can help others as well.
I tried alcohol to remove duct tape residue. Really didnt do much except smear it. A dab of gasoline took it right off. Thanks!!!
Yep, me too, this is the best way, just wash the area good afterwards.
Thanks, I just removed the duct tape glue on my car.
Thanks again
Excellent!, Thanks for the feedback, appreciated!
Careful, I tried this on the side of an enclosed trailer with tape residue and the gasoline messed up the sheen on the paint. You can see exactly where I rubbed it years later.
Yes I recommend only on automotive factory finishes and to clean afterwards with soap and water. If your shine is dull some micro finishing compound will bring back the shine. Got to remember putting duct tape on a vehicle’s paint in never a good idea to begin with. Thank you for the feedback
This worked perfectly! Thank you! For some odd reason this info was impossible to find online. This should be the first method that’s mentioned. Probably afraid of safety concerns.
Thank you for the feedback really appreciated!
Thank you just what i needed help with same tape also. Thanks you.
Glad I could help!
It works very well !!!!
Thanks a lot for the tip
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Will it work with packing tape on car?
Try it on a small spot and see. May have to peel the shiney part of the tape first.
Thank you!!! Brilliant 😊
You're so welcome!
Brilliant, really looks like magic
It does work good
This was insanely helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you from Sweden!
You are welcome!
Thanks for this suggestion.
No problem!
After used the gasoline to remove all that you need to clean it with soap and hot water and polish the paint
Yes, correct!
You're the greatest. Thanx so much
You just saved me 25$ :)
You're welcome!! That’s what I’m trying to do. Save people money!
Awesomeness. So a good while back, year plus, I ran across some white paint in the road some weird way. It splatter in the fender wall and down side of my black car. What best, easy way to remove that paint?
That can be a good question for an auto body shop, they can steer you in the right direction.
Quick simple and to the point
Thanks
Thank you so much dude you just saved me hours of work 👍
I’m glad! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!!!!
Would this also work with diesel?
Edit: Just tried it and seems to work well. Residue comes off after a few wipes.
I don’t know never tried it
Awesome
Thank you!
Worked perfectly
Good as new. Appreciate it bro
No problem 👍Thanks for the feedback!
Fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
will this damage a tinted window if done on the tinted side?
Yes
Thank you soooooo much!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks
No problem!
Thank you
Gonna try this today
Thanks,
i had no petrol so i used a can of armani aerosol and it worked a treat
Great! Don’t know what that is but glad it worked
@@motorcarnut im guessing something to do with ethanol/alcohol - great tip dude 👊🏼
@daysgone2997 ah, gotcha! Thanks
that was amazing!!!! omg!
Thank you! Appreciated
Broooo you're a life saver
Thank you!
Thank you very much 👍
You are very welcome
What, gasoline. I would never have used gasoline. I thought my paint would go as well. Thank you, thank you! 😂😊❤
You are so welcome! Just clean it off afterwards with soap and water to get rid of the residue
Yep Thanks
No problem
1 hour ago did a test patch to remove duck tape off my 2006 mercury grand marquis using a sponge lightly damp in gasoline while it lightly rains. Question does using gasoline effect paint or clear coat or both and how so ?
You have to be very careful about using gas. And should wash with soap and water afterwards. And may need to use some polishing compound to bring up the shine. You have to remember you’re not supposed to put tape on paint to begin with.
@@motorcarnut Well at 11:45 PM friday night someone smashs out your rear window and you have no shaded are to park your car. Trash bags and duck tape are better then nothing. Didn't like the gasoline test patch. Next week try goo gone on another small test patch.
Thank you so much for the tip!
You are so welcome!
very nice thank you
No problem, thanks for the comment
bro Thank than you 😮😮😮❤
Sure, no problem!
actually duct tape was my rear windscreen for 6 months while i was waiting for a new rear windscreen (i have a 5th gen accord wagon, the rear windscreens are very hard to come by) but alas.... that is why i am here...
Yes, give it a try, it works great.
i usually take off stickers on paint with rubbing alcohol or baby oil but the sticker in this car wouldn't come off till i use your advice ty
Great! Glad it helped!
This really helped me out. Subbed and liked.
Thanks for the sub! Really appreciate the feedback!
Will this still work even if the tape had been on for over a month?
Yep, even years
@@motorcarnut thanks!
@noahcurlzz8613 no problem
Will this mess up your paint
It can, so use it at you own risk as stated. That said many people have great results as I did. Factory paint finishes only and clean with soap and water afterwards. Also may need some compound to bring shine back
Thanks for the advice,
Sure, no problem
I just saved myself 150 bucks 👍🏽
Awesome!
Hey...what if I had 2 layers of gorrila tape ? & it's been baked by sun for around a YEAR" now ...thanks
.....just like the video
If the top piece of tape comes off and leaves just the sticky or dry residue it should work. Just make sure you clean it after with soap and water.
I did.
Great!
Brilliant thank you x
You’re welcome 😊 appreciated!
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Thx mate same problem here 😂💪
Thank you for the feedback!
Can i use diesel?
I don’t know, never tried it
Awesome! Would this work the same on Gorilla tape?
Yes it will, just take off the top layer of tape and the residue will come off with this procedure.
Thank you, Sir.
You are very welcome
Thanks a lot. I hope it will work on Matt finish as well as i have Matt grey paint on my motorcycle tank and just removed the duct tape but a lot of hard residue is left on it
If it's a factory finish it should just try a small spot first
Doesn’t the gas thin out the clear from the paint and start to fade the paint on the car later on ???
Just like any chemical, use it at your own risk. I stated that if you don’t feel comfortable don’t do it. I never have a problem over many years. Just wash the vehicle right afterwards.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Love this dudes accent
Thank you!
Thx it worked 💯👍👍😀
I know, Awesome!
Wow thanks so much man 👍👍
No problem 👍
Does this work with transparent scotch tape that is stuck on the car?
For the sticky glue yes, but the tape itself would have to be peeled off first.
@@motorcarnut This advice really helps me. Thanks!
@criss6945 no problem
@@motorcarnut got it.
@juncapulong1911 great
That is freakin amazing. Thanks so much!
No problem! Thanks for the comment
Beautiful
Thank you
Can you also do those in a scotch tape residue or Steakers residue?
Yes
What about if the duct tape is inside the car? Would this work still?
It can but I would do that with all doors open wearing a mask because of the fumes
Yay!!
Thank you!
Thank you! what kind of soap
Regular automotive soap nothing special.
I want to use this for my windows, however my windows are tinted. Will it remove the tape residue and the tint? Or will the tint be okay?
Aftermarket tint? Usually tint is applied to the inside of the glass?
thanks man!!! 2024!!
No problem! Appreciate the feedback!
which product used to remove the duct tape sir?
Gasoline
How do i give you a super like? Imma try this tomorrow 😂
Thank you! There is a button under video or paypal donation button on my front page
Edit: i tried it today and it worked, but on some surfaces less
@GTAVince be sure to wash area afterwards with soap and water to remove any residue.
W video appreciate it 💪
Thank you!
Good tip. I'm actually curious what car it is? I use a PPF film to seal a badly leaking Volkswagen Tiguan panoramic roof. Apparently a common Vw issue and insanely expensive to repair properly.
Thank you! It was a VW Tiguan. Most of the times the water tubes get loose and just have to be re glued to stop most leaks on the particular vehicle.
Aucune solution de réparation c’est un problème connu chez VW sur tout les modèles tiguan touran sharan … c’est le châssis du toit qui se casse
Will alcohol work ?
Don't know, never tried
C’est quoi comme produit ???
Gasoline
Would that strip the coating on the paint?
You have to use this method at your own risk. I have many people do this judging by my comments with great results. Factory paint should not be a problem but just test in a small area then wipe clean with soap and water. Can dull the surface requiring some compound. Been using this method a long time with no problems.
I’m hoping this works for flex tape as well
I never tried it on that but worth a shot.
Will this work even if my duct tape is not dry but like super adhesive still?
Yes< just do a little bit first to make sure and don't forget after you remove the glue clean with soap and water afterwards to protect the paint
I’m gonna attempt this trick on a car with flex tape residue
Should work on that as well
AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🥰☺️🫶🏻
No problem!! Thanks for the feedback!
Is this gasoline that’s used to start a fire? lol I am a bit scared so I just want to be sure. Help
Yes, and I would not recommend you to do this if you’re not comfortable in handling flammable liquids and should be in an outside well ventilated area. So don’t use this method.
It worked!! I kept saying wtf just watching the adhesive come off as I rubbed it!!
Lol, of course, I would never say something that was'n't accurate. Make sure you clean the surface after with soap and water right after you finish to protect the paint.
Super like! And super thanks!
Thank you! Cheers!
Does it work for blue tape too?
This is for the residue so I'm not sure, never tried on that.
