Here are the methods to clean adhesive residue from car paint: 1. First, use a hot towel or a hair dryer to heat the adhesive. After a while, try to peel it off. Before peeling, it's best to vigorously rub the area with a wet towel, as sometimes the adhesive can be wiped off directly. Be careful during removal, as improper methods can easily damage the car paint. 2. You can try using essential balm to remove the adhesive. Soak a cloth with some essential balm, moisten the adhesive, and then wipe it clean in a clockwise circular motion. 3. For tougher adhesives like practice stickers, it's best to slowly peel them off with your fingernails, being careful not to tear them. Then, use tar remover or similar products to wipe off any remaining residue. 4. For larger areas or very stubborn adhesives, use a car-specific adhesive remover. When using the remover, first clean the area with a dry cloth, evenly spray an appropriate amount of the remover, and then wipe it off with a wet cloth. Alternatively, you can go directly to a 4S store for car detailing and have the workers remove it for you.

What is the solution for loose car door glass?

Solutions for loose car door glass: 1. Tighten the loose car door glass; 2. Replace the door glass sealing strip; 3. Clean debris from the window glass guide rail. Automotive glass is produced by heating it in a furnace to near the softening temperature, then sending it into air grids with different cooling intensities for uneven cooling. This process creates different stresses between the main viewing area and the peripheral area of the glass, resulting in zone-tempered glass. The peripheral area of the car is located in the strong wind position of the air grid, requiring full tempering. This area has good fragmentation characteristics and high tempering strength. The main viewing area is located in the weak cooling position of the air grid, with larger fragments and lower tempering strength.
