Tape on Aluminum Siding

I really need help. I am selling my house and a couple of years ago I put mailing tape on the peak of my house on some type of aluminum siding, to hold my icicle lights in place. Great, but now 8 years later the tape is still there. What do I do?

Try using your hair dryer to heat it up and see if it will come off. I do that a lot. Also read the hint on WD-40. I have read that previously but have not tried it. I believe it would work. Good luck!!

Nail polish remover removes stickers off of walls. I would test it first in case it removes the color off of your siding.

Cooking oil or any oily product will do it. Put it on, let it sit 15-30 minutes, and scrape or peel. The formerly sticky residue witll rub off.

A great product to use is called Goo Gone, that might help. Otherwise if it isn't really noticable just leave it there.

wd-40 should renove the residue, along with a little elbow grease.
