Hi all. I have a wing mirror being held on with duct tape. I'm going to repair it this weekend but the moulded plastic cover has a lot of the residue from the duct tape on it. What stuff will remove this?
Thanks.

Sometimes Windowlene is sufficient, but WD40 usually works - though check it's ok on the plastics.
We suffer this a lot in the theatre, usually a fresh piece of gaffer tape is sticky enough to lift off old gaffer tape residue , surprisingly enough this works really well.

It works for quite a lot of sticky labels as well. Often you can use the bit of the label that came off cleanly to remove the remaining residue.

If there are any little bits left rub them off with talcum powder.
