removing duct tape from car..ideas??

[Max Wellhouse]

Chris:  I would peel off what I could as far as the fabric part of 
the duct tape and then go to your local auto body supply house and 
buy a 3M Roloc for your drill chuck and also buy an item called the 
3M  pinstripe and decal remover. Cost for both is under $15 and worth 
every nickel.   It comes in 4" diameter and 6" diameter.  It's pretty 
much a series of thin floppy plastic discs that get stiff when you 
fire up the drill.  I've just in the last week "buffed" 
off  substantial old duct tape off a kevlar kayak I'm working on with 
no damage to the finish.  Keep the drill moving and the area won't 
get too hot. The tool is great for getting old contact cement off surfaces too.

Of course softening it up with methyl ethyl ketone or toluene might 
work too, but I wouldn't use the Roloc after doing that.
