Seeking advice for cosmetic issues

[AtlantaRED]

Greetings all,

I bought a pre-owned a couple months ago and decided to take the front plate off. But there is adhesive residue that won't come off. I tried goo gone and damn near broke my back with no luck. Any suggestions?

Heat gun on low or if you dont have heat gun use a hair dryer on low and dont hold it in one spot. Bug and Tar remover might work also

Thanks. Will try that. I'm hoping i dont have to sand it or use compound...which is what someone at the tesla service center suggested

Thats an extreme solution and unless you have experience wet sanding and buffing I would steer clear of that solution. The paint on Tesla seems to be really thin so you would most likely burn right thru what little clear/paint there is on the vehicle. I would use the bug/tar remover first and then if that doesnt work break out the hair dryer.
