I used Turpentine (sp?) really quick (lightly rub it on, wipe it right off), then clay barred it and waxed it and it came out sweet... whole process start to finish took less them 5 min. (but I didn't remove the ACURA, just the 3.2TL TypeS)....

Personally I use the Mothers claybar. It's basically the same thing and it's available at many local autoparts stores for around $20-$25 for the kit.... check out http://www.mothers.com/products/products.htmlfor more details (scroll down to the claybar)

Try the clay bar, or a scratch remover like GS27.

here http://www.zainobros.com/files/info.htm#anchor158090
but why? I used a fuse puller (for tube type fuse) and yanked them out without any problem, not a single piece of tape left, not a mark on the pain .. basically, it's like nothing there at all.


Ummm ... the next meet is on WebToker (Calvin)

I used a hair dryer, Windex and some floss. I would not attempt to use anything else on the paint.
