Removing 3M mounting tape from car
Hi
How can I remove 3M double sided mounting tape from my car (Foam type)? It was used to mount the plates. The car is Cqaurtzed and has protective film on the front end. The front plates are mounted on the protective film. The plates on the page are mounted on the body (that is Cquartz). I want to remove the plates and mount Euro-style ones. So plate damage isn't much of an issue. I don't want to damage the coating or the film.
Thank you

Maybe warm it up with a hair dryer and carefully remove it.

Spray 1 concentrated squirt of either TarX or 3M adhesive remover onto a microfiber tip using your finger and just let it sit around the tape for 30 seconds. Catch any runoff with the rest of the towel; then take a plastic razor blade and it should come off like butter. If you have 2 sets of hands, have your partner heat it on low with a heat gun for 45 seconds.

Dental Floss to cut foam tape, soak area in tar remover or APC remove with MF towel. Polish with finishing polish and done.
IMHO and experience a Heat gun on clear film is a risky deal. I have used steam and heat guns to remove clear film.
