Default How to get the sticky crap off of the hood.

The adhesive from the old hood liner has been on my hood since I bought it (PO power washed the old one off), I ordered a new one from Rob Budd with a red decal (pictures when I get this stuff off).

So does anyone have any tricks? I tried 3m adhesive remover it has proven to work great on everything until this, its baked on and Im scraping it off with a plastic scraper but its not working too well.

knock off the big chunks and you can just cover the old adhesive with new adhesive and the pad. If it sticks so well it is hard to get off it sticks well enough to leave there.

Goo-Gone will get it off you can pick it up at Lowes/Home Depot or at most automotive do-it-yourself stores.

Cover your engine and your fenders when using it and scraping. It really has a strong laquer smell so wear a ventilator of some sort if you have one or make sure you are using it in a well ventilated area.

I used a razor blade scraper. I was hesitant at first, but I was putting a new liner over it all anyway, so any scratches will be covered up. I also tried using goo gone and whatnot. Save some time, use the razor. Unless of course you aren't going to put a liner back in.

Orbital sander with some really gritty paper will tear it right off.

Whitefox... Goo-gone & a nylon pad/scrubber did it for me.

Wear mask and rubber gloves.

Go for it... just as you did to get back on the road. (Feels good, eh ?!)

Congrats !
