Nice! Haven't seen an HHR SS in a high speed pursuit yet. The red will look bad a$$ from the copter!

Would have been a lot easier to use a hair dryer, dental floss and a bug and tar remover. I use Turtle wax bug and tar remover and as the adhesive comes off a shine is left .

I should have asked my hotel if they could loan me a 500 foot extension cord and a hair dryer.

Also, read the ingredients on your bug and tar remover. Item #1 is "white spirit" ... which is another name for mineral spirits. The dipentene (which makes up less than 10% of the ingredients) is a form of turpentine.

Turtle Wax Ultimate Bug and Tar Remover MSDS info here.

BTW, the "a shine is left" is also true of my method. Shine is not a function of wax, per se... the paint itself shines... my suggestion of reapplying wax to the area would be equally true in your case.

I bet I paid less for my generic mineral spirits than you did for your generic mineral spirits in the fancy Turtle Wax can. But if it makes you feel better... you can be the winner in this fascinating testosterone-fest.
