What Are Some Tips for Removing Adhesive Without Damaging Car Paint?

Use an eraser to continuously rub the area. Initially, the adhesive area may turn black, but after prolonged rubbing, the adhesive will gradually come off. Use the hot air setting of a hair dryer, holding it about 10cm away from the adhesive, and blow hot air directly onto it. While blowing, slowly peel off the adhesive label. Dip a dry dishcloth in white vinegar or regular vinegar and completely cover the labeled area. After soaking, use the dishcloth to gradually wipe away the adhesive label from the edges. Apply cooking oil evenly over the labeled area. Wait for 3-5 minutes, then you can slowly peel off the label from one corner by hand.
I've encountered adhesive residue from window tinting several times and tried many methods. The most recommended is using essential balm - pour a few drops on the adhesive, wait 3-5 minutes, then gently scrape with an old bank card. The glue will soften and come off, then just wipe clean with a damp cloth. Never use gasoline or blades as they damage paint and leave marks. For stubborn adhesive, use a hairdryer on medium heat at a distance to warm the residue, then rub with an eraser in circular motions - completely safe for car paint. After removal, apply some car wax for protection, making it shine like new. This method saves money and hassle, and works for sticker residue on household items too.
