Don’t use brake clean its not good for paint… It says it on the can. The stuff I would recomend is all purpose surface cleaner used in paint shops. You can pick it up at any body suplie shop. Other suggestions are “Goof Off” comes in a white can and works great, dosen’t harm paint or anything just takes some elbow grease. or “Acetone” It works easly, but will remove the paint, depends on your porpose behind it. You can pick it up at “ct” or anywhere that deals with car parts. ---

I used gasoline to get rid of all the residue from interior sound deadening, I am sure it would work on the exterior, just wipe up any excess so it doesn’t sit on the paint and damage it… But it sounds like you’re done. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/factory-stripes/99076.md?page=2)
