                        Guys,

                        Any recommendation on how to remove masking tape residues from paint and future covered parts?

                        Thanks

                        Isopropyl alcohol works well to remove most adhesive residues.

                        Goo Gone - works great.

                        Be careful with isopropyl alcohol & Future. It can also remove some acrylic paints. I usually use another, stickier, piece of tape, and dab the affected area. Use a different part of the tape with each successive "dab."
                        Hope this helps.

                        I second Goo Gone. Nothing better, or as good.

                        WD-40 actually does a nice job of removing tape residue. I used it to take pin stripes off of my truck.
