    I bought a used work van awhile back and just ran some of my older magnets on the doors, now that business has slowed I got my van lettered and took the magnets off, one of the magnets had stuck and I had to peal it off and now have a blackish residue left, my question is what can I use to get it off with out disturbing the paint, I thought about goof off but was afraid that would pull the paint? any Ideas

    Thanks
    Timothy

    Timothy, i have used diesel for numerous things and it will not hurt the paint, as long as you just dont let it dry on there, just wash it off with soap and water after use.

    That will work, Timothy. I had that happen one time and used WD-40 to remove it, worked great.
