How to effectively remove 3M double-sided tape?

[Tracey]

Here are the methods to remove 3M double-sided tape: 1. Alcohol wiping: Soak a soft cloth with sufficient 95% alcohol solution and gently wipe the adhesive area. The adhesive will soften and fall off easily. The advantage of using alcohol solution is that it causes no damage to plastic surfaces or car paint. 2. Gasoline wiping: Dip a soft cloth in a small amount of gasoline and gently wipe the adhesive area. Note that gasoline may "dissolve" certain plastics or paints, so use with caution to avoid unnecessary trouble. Be careful not to use too much gasoline and keep the wiping time as short as possible to prevent damage to plastic surfaces. 3. Hand cream wiping: Hand cream can also remove adhesive. It contains a large amount of solvent (usually over 70%) and some surfactants, which have good wetting, penetrating, and dissolving abilities. These can quickly penetrate between the adhesive and the surface, achieving the removal effect. 4. Hair dryer blowing: Use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. When the adhesion of the double-sided tape weakens, it can be removed easily. Alternatively, cover the entire adhesive mark with a dry cloth soaked in vinegar. Once the adhesive is completely soaked, it can be easily scraped off with a ruler.
