Thanks all. I went ahead and tried some stuff and the tape on one side is off in a mere three hours. I managed to scratch the paint up with the putty knife though . I used the goo-gone, WD40, alcohol and a citrus-based cleaner called "Disolve It" (dumb name, good cleaner). Virdict is the Goo-Gone worked the best. I didn't do WD40 in 5 minute intervals for half an hour though, I must confess. The Goo-Gone when allowed to soak, REALLY softens stuff up. I was really happy with the plastic blade until I saw the results. Looks like sandpaper was taken to Remy's paint. I was so depressed that my newly wed bride tried to seduce me that night, and for the second time in my life I REFUSED THE DIDDLY!!! No joke. Well, the body shop is going to buff it out tomorrow, so I guess it will work out in the end.
I side question, if anyone knows... Will Goo-Gone remove Zaino polish??
Another project I have eluded to in this thread is the caliper issue. Many have made suggestions and I do appreciate the input. This body shop guy, whom I met with today, (the shop appears to do a brisk business and comes highly recommended) tells me that this high heat ceramic resin paint should work really well. I am no tracker by any means, but I will give the word as to how it looks and I will post pics too. Aren't digital cameras great? Thanks again to all who answered my thread.
Bass... I tend to her plenty, if you know what I mean... nudge nudge wink wink say no more! WICKED EH!?
The body shop buffed out my scratches and I'm good as new. After I paint the calipers, I'll post some pics. I intend to put on new front and back badges as well, but after the side badge incident, I'm a little hesitant.
PP, a good paint kit that you dont have to worry about spraying on is made by FOLIA TEC, and it comes with a cleaning kit, paint and a brush. Instead of spraying it, you brush it on, and it looks a whole lot better, I did my 2002 silver/red with the red kit and it looks awesome. The kits are around $48 but they are from Germany, so well worth it.
OH yeah, i forgot.......a good way to remove sticker residue is Meguiars Clear Coat Body Scrub, also works well for minor surface scratches etc...... only like $4 - $5 at any auto parts store.
