Just woulnderd if any one can give me advise about removing tape residue of the bottom half of the door of my caravan.

I removed the transfere srips of the side of my door as thay made the van look a bit shaby, the problem  is it as left like a glue residue on the door, i have tryed every thing to remove it but it will not budge.  As any one got any ideas as i have run out,

Tryed : fenwicks caravan cleaner, wd40, vinigar with hot soapy water, nothing seems to remove it. help apresiated

I'd seek advice from a commercial paintshop if I were you, they'll have something to get it off for you.

As above Autoglym Intensive tar remover - but give it a good polish after.  If you remove more of the transfers/coachlining  try using a hairdryer - it usually comes off with the adhesive.
