    Hi Sirs,

    My wife just bought a 2nd hand Honda city with Faded Rain Visor(supposed to be Black pero halos Clear na sya) and Chrome door handle cover and bowl.
    She want's to replace the visor with a new one and just remove the Chrome covers(not feminine).

    My Question is, if I remove these accessories, may chance ba na matuklap din ang paint ng Kotse? Or is there a professional or proper way to remove it, so as not to damage the paint.

    Thanks in Advance to your replies and suggestions

    Most if not always naka double sided tape lang ang mga yan. And no hindi ma tutuklap an paint pag tinanggal mo yan. Just use those plastic prying tools that you can buy. 150 or 250 ang set. To avoid scratching the paint.

    meron nabibili na spray-on sticker/adhesive remover sa wilcon/ace/handyman/diy. spray mo lang, wait a few minutes and peel off. make sure you try it first on the inside panel paint in the trunk to mak sure it is nit harmful to the paint but as per my experience it usually is paint friendly.

    Many thanks for the reply mga sir, It was professionally done at Evangelista using Straw na pantali sa grocery boxes. It was done without causing any scratch sa auto.

    Buy adhesive remover or try the Johnson's baby oil approach. See if it works for you.

    Pwede po ba goo gone sa dashboard - sticky residue din na natuyo. Hindi ba mag discoloration - mamuti after?

    Thanks!

    In case no one knows, here's what most instruction labels advise: "test the solution on an inconspicuous area first".

    I've had this spray can for the better part of 10 years. There's still about 1/3 left of the stuff. Very effective in removing residual adhesives.

    Goo gone is not petroleum-based like most lubricants or other degreasers (e.g. WD40). If the area of the dash to be cleaned is plastic or faux wood/carbon fiber, then it should be fine.

    Leather is a different story, tho.

    Goo-Gone is petroleum based, specifically isoparaffin (aka kerosene). The ingredients are listed in goo-gone's own product literature and the CPID.

    Goo-gone is basically a scented and colored kerosene + alcohol mix. The old driver's wisdom of 'babad sa gaas' wasn't wrong.

    The Permatex one that I use smells lemony.... almost silicone spray consistency. Also petroleum based but have not damaged any kind of surfaces I've used it on.

    I stand corrected as I didn't know isoparaffins were petroleum-based.

    Isoparaffins are quite prevalent in skincare products and is also biodegradeable. Equating it with kerosene is a bit of a stretch.

    In any case, Goo Gone has been working well for my gooey adhesive removal needs and hasn't been at all harmful to the stuff I used it on.

    Kerosene is also biodegradable in soil or water, that's not something special to isoparaffin
    c13-14 isoparaffin is just "cleaned up" kerosene meaning it's had the sulfur and nitrogen removed. Euro-6 kerosene if one might prefer.



    Admittedly I wasn't thinking of cosmetic use and one wouldn't put kerosene on their face, but the aromatics removed from kerosene in the process of creating isopar aren't necessarily bad for a plastic or wooden surface being cleaned.

    i read somewhere, that if the paint is original factory, there should be no problem when removing these adhesive-installed accessories.
    but yes, pre-heating the adhesive seems logical.

    Heating the adhesive first before carefully removing the visor and covers is key to protecting the paint. Go slow, use plastic tools, and clean any residue afterwards. Maybe practice first in a less visible spot if you're not sure.
