Cleaning Packing tape adhesive off GRP bodywork

[AJKOK1]

Hiya,

This may be a daft question, but i took delivery of some new bodywork panels today. They were stuck together with packing tape. I have tried to peel the tape off the bodywork but it is covered in adhesive and marking from where the tape was ( has already taken hours to peel most of the tape off).

I have tried finger nails, Water on a damp cloth and Washing up liquid, but nothing is really shifting it. Paperwork with the bodywork advises to remove tape on delivery, so i'm guessing the longer i leave it the more there is a risk of marking the bodywork.

Can anyone advise on a safe cleaner to use on the bodywork ? ( it is GRP bodywork from Westfield)

Thanks in advance ( I'm having a bit of a panic).

Al.

Zippo fluid

WD40 is also great at getting adhesive residue off GRP

Thank you folks. Really appreciate the quick response. WD40 worked perfectly !!!

White spirit will also do the job but don't use cellulose thinners as it can dull the gel coat finish.
