Stripe Removal
Okay, here is my dilemma....I woke up one day and decided I din't want my bonnet stripes anymore. I dont really like the look and really want to go viper stripes because I love them So I trailed down to my car....was picking at a corner and managed to just pull a stripe off...low and behold....every ounce of sticky was left on the hood...OH GREAT . So I get my goo gone and start scrubbing...after 20 minutes I am missing a patch of skin on 2 of my fingers and all I have done is get the stickyness to leave...now I just have wax stripes.... This happened to both stripes and I need to know how to get the wax crap off Please help me.....I tried the hair dryer approach, went to a pressure washer, my finger (bad idea), just everything to no avail.

The reason why I told you WD40 is I'm sure you have it on hand, who doesn't? and it should work, I've used it on our trucks decals and it's the same glue.

I just changed my bonnet stripes and had that problem (half the adhesive on one stripe). I used GooGone on a paper towel. I soaked the paper towel and did very small sections (about 3"-4") at a time. At first there was almost no change, but after a couple of minutes the adhesive started to ball up. I changed towels frequently and kept them saturated with GooGone and eventually got all the adhesive off. Then a trip to the car wash to hose off the bonnet.
Plenty of GooGone, change towels often, and take your time--it will work.
