Remove Sticky Glue Without Damaging Your Paint

Leftover glue from decals, stickers, tape, or badges can leave your car looking messy and unclean. Whether it’s the sticky remains from a bumper sticker, adhesive from dealership badges, or residue from old window tints or body tape, removing glue safely is not as easy as it seems.

At Bay Area Auto Detailing, we provide professional outside glue removal services that get rid of sticky residue without harming your car’s paint, trim, or clear coat. Our team uses safe products and the right techniques to restore your vehicle’s smooth and clean finish.

Why Glue Residue Is a Problem

Trying to scrub it off with household products or sharp tools can lead to scratches, paint damage, or worse. That’s why professional glue removal is the smart and safe choice.

What’s Included in Our Glue Removal Service?

Our experienced detailers use a gentle, step-by-step process that protects your car while removing every trace of glue.

Surface Inspection

We examine the glue area, the type of adhesive used, and the condition of your paint to choose the safest method.

Soft Pre-Cleaning

The area is gently cleaned to remove dust and debris so we can focus directly on the adhesive.

Heat or Safe Solvent Application

Depending on the glue type, we use either controlled heat or a paint-safe adhesive remover to loosen the sticky residue.

Manual Glue Removal

We gently lift and wipe away the glue using microfiber cloths, plastic-safe tools, and non-scratch methods.

Final Polish and Paint Correction

If glue caused any dullness or marks, we spot-polish the area to restore smoothness and shine.

Optional Wax or Sealant

We offer protective wax or sealant to protect the treated surface and enhance gloss.
What Causes Glue Buildup on Cars?

Sticky residue can come from several sources, including:

  • Dealership stickers or emblems
  • Tape or vinyl from repairs or wrapping
  • Decals, bumper stickers, or tint film
  • Protective shipping plastic
  • Promotional or temporary signage
  • Leftover adhesive from accident repairs

No matter the source, we can remove it.
