I am taking the body moldings off the Z and I was wondering what is the best way to get the double sided tape off the car and make it look all nice and clean?

And also, I'm repainting the berger panel and installing the Z28 and bow tie emblems back on. What's the best stuff to hold the emblems on tight?

 

Blow dryer and a plastic paint scraper thingy work best, and also after that use some Goo b gone on the surfaces, not sure about replacement tape

 

OK thanks, I'll give that a shot. I think I still have my plastic squeegie for tinting windows. That should work.

 

If you want something a bit less potent than that Goo nonsense (not sure how it will affect paint), try mineral spirits.

 

...or WD40. For the emblems, double sided emblem tape (go figure).

 

I have a few cans of WD40 and PB Blaster but I wasn't sure how they would act on the paint since I'm trying the scrub it off. I'll give that a try too. Can I use some type of silicon for the emblems? I have that here, but no double sided emblem tape.

 

ive used super glue for emblems but the gel kind so it doesnt run it worked very good

 

I actually have some of that sitting in the garage!

 

WD40 won't hurt the paint. Whether you use that or mineral spirits, you want to remove the oily residue with a cleaning solvent. Brake cleaner won't hurt for a quick clean. Never use carb cleaner on paint (that you want to keep). Silicone adhesive should hold, good prep (sand back of emblem) is key.

 

I'll try the WD40 and see how it works, thanks.

Yeah I have my emblem prepped and painted already. I painted it white because I painted the panel black. And I have super glue and a couple silicones so I'll see what will work best.
