Someone sprayed... glue? on my car

[s4m222]

i got an accord 01 sedan and i left it at a friend house for a few hours while i hung out there. When time came for me to head home i look at my car and at first i thought WTF someone threw up on my car... But this neigborhood isnt that bad and after taking a closer look i thought it was silly string...

if it was silly string it woul dhave been better, at least you can peel that off...
turns out it is some kind of glue... it is on a large portion of my driver side window and door... any advice on getting it off without damaging the car?

It is on there good... this is just straight up glue.. its like someone dumped a bunch of yellowish/clear looking glue on my car help!

Contact a local auto parts store or a local detailer, they should have some ideas. I think whatever you use though you want to be sure not to scratch the surface and the chemicals that you might have to use will likely remove the wax. You will also want to pre treat a concealed area.

I am NOT suggesting to use this, but this stuff works wonders elsewhere for removing glue or gum, etc. Not sure what it would do to your paint though. It's amazing, but a little scary because it works so well.

Sounds like Contact Cement.......Nasty stuff.....Get the ride to a good body shop quick b4 the glue softens and melts the paint.
If they can't help, you may have to make an insurance claim for a repaint.

Nice neighbourhood.

i am not overly concerned with some scratches etc... but its pretty bad... ill get to a auto shop asap...

my friend and i used some kind of special laquer thinner to get the rubber door guards off... it didnt damage the paint but it got the adhesive off well, maybe i should use that?

thanks guy
