How to Remove Spray Foam Adhesive from a Car?

[TeaganAnn]

Use a hairdryer to blow on the adhesive to soften it, which will weaken its adhesive strength, making it easy to remove. Finally, wipe it off with a dry towel dipped in dishwashing detergent. Alternatively, you can use gasoline. Pour some gasoline onto a piece of tissue paper and then wipe the spray foam adhesive with it.

Getting foam glue on your car is indeed troublesome, but I've handled it several times with ease. Wear thick gloves to protect your skin and work in a well-ventilated area. Once dried, don’t peel it off forcefully—use a plastic scraper to gently remove the surface foam layer to avoid scratching the paint. For the remaining adhesive, pour a specialized solvent like acetone-based solution, apply it evenly, let it sit for five minutes, then wipe it off slowly with a microfiber cloth. If residue persists, try softening it with a heat gun before removal, but keep the heat at a safe distance to avoid damaging the paint. Always test a small area first to ensure safety. After treatment, rinse thoroughly with water, dry it off, and apply wax to protect the paint. To prevent recurrence, cover the car body when spraying foam next time. Safety first—avoid skin contact or inhaling chemical solvents.
