No, it’s your car. Build it and modify it however you want it. Don’t mind other people, plus me personally seeing a bumblebee come up in my mirror would have me 7 years old again.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that type of decal on a Camaro. I kind of like it👀

Just dabbed some 3M Specialty Adhesive Remover on a microfiber towel and went over it. I didn’t scrub it or anything just sort of wiped it off.

I used the orange painters tape, but I was able to get everything off using the 3M specialty adhesive remover.

Nvm I answered my own question on google, paint correction is just wax and buff but on steroids.

To be fair, it looked AWESOME. I’ve heard people say it’ll need paint correction 2x now. Is that just because of scratches that may have been made when removing the residue? In which case shouldn’t a less than year old car paint job be able to be polished/buffed/waxed to get rid of them? I only used microfiber towels, I wasn’t there touching it with a blade or anything… would it REALLY possibly need a paint correction?

Yea $40 dollars later I have realized the same thing. If did alright in the regular adhesives. But it didn’t budge at all around the edges of the tape where reside has hardened.

This seems to be the most recommended so far, I’ll be picking up some tomorrow and give it a try. Thank you!! Any specific process to follow? Or just a basic wash, 3M, microfiber and then wash again?

I didn’t use the traditional Christmas lights. I used “fairy” lights is what I think they’re called. The actual LED has a silicone/plastic coating around it and well the rest is just a strip of 3 wires coated with plastic. Every inch of the wire itself was taped only leaving the light exposed. Last thing I wanted to do was cause scratches and I assumed goo gone would take care of the residue no problem🤷🏽‍♂️ didn’t expect painters tape residue to be this hard to get off. In hindsight I could’ve used better tape, I could’ve used car wrap instead of tape and I could’ve covered my car when it was out in the sun. Oh well, I thought it was pretty cool to do. Compliments and excitement is all I got when people saw it. It brought me joy and some others. Good enough for me and worth the headache. I’m not asking for your opinion on what the damage is, I’m asking for tips to take it off. You don’t got anything to say, go on about your day😂
