Default Messed up a few things :(

While working on fiberglassing my trunk I have put a lot of masking tape on the outside panels of my trunk (bumper, lights etc) now that I am finished, I took the masking tape off and it left half of it's glue on my car. There is a lot of it all over. Do you suggest I use goo-gone or another citrus based cleaner to remove it? Any ideas? I also have some bondo leftovers on one of the panels. It has no hardener mixed into it but it got dry. A clay bar? Please, give suggestions. Thx

Goo gone and claybar should work well for the problems you mentioned.

Lots of lube with the clay.

Good luck.
