Masking tape left residue on bodywork

[seanboy]

Ladies and gentleman I sprayed a part of my van the other night and it's come out sound but I left the masking tape on over night.It rained so the residue from the tape is left on the bodywork after taking the masking tape off. Whats the best way to take this residue off the bodywork without damaging the bodywork?
Cheers Sean.

T cut or polish should sort it

damp cloth andelbow grease will remove it.

I'm scrubbing and the colour from the cloth is left on the residue. starting to turn into a two tone van at the moment.

plenty of white spirits on a soft cloth that will fetch it off.

Autoglym intensive tar remover.

Even friction of rubbing your bare hand over it would get it off.

White spirits done the trick.

For future reference- anything citrus based will remove "sticky stuff" well without the possibility of any damage. Even JiF lemon works well

Be careful with that stuff

After watching the Youtube video of the dent removal with the compressed air and heat gun me and a mate thought we'd try it on his girlfriends mini. Except all we could find was lynx deodorant. The car was a turd so we used it anyway.
Almost immediately it dissolved the paintwork

So although I dont doubt it worked for you BMshed I feel that I should state DO NOT SPRAY LYNX ONTO CAR PAINTWORK.

Petrol on s rag will remove just about anything

Just used white spirit successfully to do it.
