How do you remove glue from car paint?
Help! Somehow I got glue all over my car. What’s the best way to get glue off car paint?

Yikes! Sorry to hear about that. But there are simple ways you can get the glue off your car paint without damaging your car.
Here’s how:
Clean the area: Start with soap and water. Washing the area will help lift away any dirt and debris for a smoother glue-removal process.
Reactivate the glue: Use a hairdryer to soften up the glue, but be careful to not overheat or damage the paint. For best results, use the LOW setting.
Use a plastic scraper: Remove any loosened glue with a plastic scraper. Be careful not to
scratch the surface
of the car. An old credit card may work well!
Rewash and wax: Once you’ve removed the glue residue, wash your car again with soap and water, then dry it with a clean rag. Apply car wax for that extra finishing touch!Sorry about the glue incident! Since you clearly prioritize taking care of your car, ensure it’s protected by great car insurance—without overpaying for it. The
