5.0 out of 5 stars Best Car Graphics Adhesive Remover
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
Style: 3M Specialty Adhesive RemoverSize: 15 oz.Verified Purchase
Recently needed to get the left over adhesive off my car after removing graphics from the doors. This stuff works perfect. Spray, let it sit (but not dry) then scrap with an old gift card.

No adhesive left on my car, no scraps from the removal, and no dulling of the paint or clear coat.

I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is amazing at removing residual caulk/sealant
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
Style: 3M Specialty Adhesive RemoverSize: 1 QuartVerified Purchase
I use sparing amounts to remove excessive or residual sealant on my camper. It does not take much with a rag and plastic scraper to clean things up; I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to clean lines and ensuring sealant is color-matched or as camouflaged as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars great PPF remover
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
Style: 3M Specialty Adhesive RemoverSize: 15 oz.Verified Purchase
This worked when other adhesive removers wouldn't -- with a plastic razor. It's the combination that worked -- and elbow grease! Anybody try to remove the PPF -- the film that new car dealers like to put on their new cars whether you agree to it or not? The large areas are not too bad to remove, but around the edges of the car doors it's almost impossible without using a combination of this type of adhesive and a plastic razor. So, I am very happy with my purchase.

I purchased this to remove adhesive that was exposed to the weather on a hangar door. It was extremely baked on from the Texas heat and sun. This product, along with other attempts failed to remove the baked on adhesive. Ultimately I had to sand and repaint the door. The product may work on other applications.
