Scotch blue painters tape left crap everywhere!

[J Z06]

My Parents picked up a 2014 Subaru Forester in Dark Charcoal Metallic. I won't get in to how bad the paint was(It was owned by a guy who either washed it with sandpaper or was addicted to dry washing LOL). Anyway, I was out of the usual painters tape that I normally use(3m I think, always leaves a little tell tale it was there). I picked up some Scotch, blue painters tape. Everywhere I put it after removing it, left a stain/tell tale sign it was there. I've tried IPA, 3m general purpose adhesive cleaner and peanut butter. Peanut butter seemed the most effective.The bottom of the door trim was the worst. I used peanut butter on the entire trim pieces. I REALLY don't want to get in to doing that each time I detail a car. It's annoying because the rest of the car is glowing and I can still see these marks. What would you recommend for masking tape? I bought three rolls of this. Two of the one inch and one of two inch. They're going back. No way I am using that again. Feedback would be appreciated!!

Here is a quick shot of the car. Menzerna SIP/Flex then Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 on the cyclo with blue pads. Fuzion sealed it all up.

Been there, done that. Outside, overcast warm day. Dark colored vehicle. What a PITA!

Vegas, I used a little blue tape on the bottom vinyl piece beneath my doors on my civic. There is still a line there. LOL, do I have bad luck? Maybe rubbing off the compound would be easier than taping?

I hate the stuff! The last two rolls I gave away to my work boss, as I don't even want to use it around the house. Overpriced garbage is what it is.

larry kosilla has a great tip. Rub the tape across your leg once or twice and there should be less of an adhesive on the tape

I just found this pic on my phone...it shows a clearer pic of what I was up against. I hate that tape line, so apparent. Obviously, I went over the line with Menzerna, and that was taken care of.

Or grab some FrogTape from a local retailer, that stuff is great--the yellow FrogTape is the one for delicate surfaces.
