Word to the wise, don't use clear packing tape as a paint protector.
Some guy... won't say names (haha) used clear tape when he installed the CB antenna on his truck. Figured that it would prevent the cable and mag mount from rubbing through the paint.
Now 3 years later I get some of the nice 3M clear plastic meant for this and go to remove the ugly tape. It more or less has melted into the clearcoat!
I got some of it off. It's taken me about 2 hrs with an eraser wheel and some adhesive and decal remover and it's not all that pretty.
Going to finish removing it tomorrow and buff the whole roof with polishing compound. I hope the 3M stuff covers up my boo-boo decently. :bang
