Re: Removing door weather strip glue
I tried the $13 can of 3M from Autozone (photo attached)
It worked about the same is $6 GooGone from Walmart at about half the price (though that is liquid and not spray)..
The smell of the two 3M and GooGone were very similar - so much I don't think I could tell them apart, so I think they are the same stuff.
It was slow going with either solvent - it took about ten minutes of scrubbing and drenching just to remove six inches of old adhesive.. it gets old fast but I did it in stages and eventually got all the old stuff off using GooGone and the 3M. Neither one seemed to hurt the paint. A carbon mask was IMO necessary due to the fumes and the fact that you are right there huffing and puffing.
One thing I thought of later and did not try but might be worth trying is a heat gun. Just softening up the adhesive with a heat gun. But as always there are risks with the heat gun; for example probably don't want to hit your laminated safety glass or the windshield weatherstrip or any body sealants or carpet upholstery seatbelts etc.
