particularly for 3M adhesive removal
i hear rave reviews of it here and there
the civic driving salesman at Vato Zone recommended it

Pblaster is amazing for helping get bolts free. Never tried their other products.

For removing residue I use denatured alcohol (be careful! This stuff can eat paint)

For bolts I use 50/50 ATF and acetone. Works great and it's cheap.

W-D 40 smells better, but p-b blaster packs a better buzz.

WD40 is good for Water Displacement...for which it was designed. ;)
Its also a SOLVENT, so it makes sense that it may be good
for sticker removal etc.

WD40 sucks at rusty bolt removal.
A much better choice is PB Blaster or Kroil which are penetrating oils.
Even better is a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone, which Lance posted about here
in another thread. That stuff works!

solvent, great im out here doing this **** bare-handed
im trying to get this wretched 3m tape off, and it's not doing so great on the thicker areas
letting it soak now
doesn't have to be perfect but as much as i can so after i wash n dry the new side skirts and tape will adhere

Another fine product for sticker/glue residue is Goo Gone.

Let it soak, repeatedly.

soak a part of you rag and hold it on an area for about 45 seconds. you'll love life again.

WD-40 is also good for an impromptu blowtorch :)
