Guys,

Any recommendation on how to remove masking tape residues from paint and future covered parts?

Thanks

Isopropyl alcohol works well to remove most adhesive residues.

Goo Gone - works great.

Be careful with isopropyl alcohol & Future. It can also remove some acrylic paints. I usually use another, stickier, piece of tape, and dab the affected area. Use a different part of the tape with each successive “dab.”
Hope this helps.

I second Goo Gone. Nothing better, or as good.

WD-40 actually does a nice job of removing tape residue. I used it to take pin stripes off of my truck.
