How to Remove the Adhesive Residue After Peeling Off the Bumper Strip?

Use a hairdryer on the hot air setting to blow on the adhesive tape, then peel it off. For any remaining marks, use a cloth dipped in 95% alcohol or essential balm to wipe them away. Sometimes, an eraser can also be used to remove the residue.

I recently just removed the leftover adhesive from my car door's anti-collision strips using common household items. First, don't try to peel it off by hand as it may scratch the paint. I prepared a bottle of medical alcohol—peanut oil works too if you don't have alcohol. Dip a soft cloth in it and gently wipe the adhesive residue, repeating a few times until it loosens. Be patient and rub slowly—don't rush, as using too much force might damage the surface. After wiping, clean with warm soapy water to avoid oil stains. The whole process took about 20 minutes, saving money while honing my DIY skills. A tip: wear an old T-shirt and gloves to protect your clothes and skin—if glue sticks to the fabric, it's easier to wash. Remember to open windows for ventilation since alcohol evaporates quickly and can be irritating. Next time I install new anti-collision strips, I'll definitely choose high-quality adhesive to avoid hassle—keeping the car clean just feels better.
