Windshield Tape Removal (documented w/ pix)
#54
I've never had a problem with using wd40 on paint. I spray it on a soft cloth (I use surgical lap sponges which are extremely soft after being washed a couple times, it's kind of like cheesecloth material) and I don't leave it on there for a long period of time, it's no more caustic than the bug and tar removers. Thoroughly clean the area after and wax it as normally.

Hey I was searching and found this topic of windshield tape and thought that it would be nice to remove it on my 03 NFR. I am at work but headed out to the parking lot to look at the S and to see for myself how to do this mod. I kinda picket at the tape and then before I knew it - like 10 minutes tops - I had all of the tape removed. I encountered 1 spot, roughly the size of a dime, where I had to remove the glue residue which I was able to do with my finger nail. It looks really nice and the paint is perfect. Just needs to be polished and then waxed!!! A really easy mod and one that IMO looks really nice.

Thanks, guys. Did I ever post a picture of my car without the tape? I think Suzuka/Nurburgring blue looks great that way. This is from winter a couple of years ago:
