Hi Al & All
I think you will like the stuff from ChevyDuty, now that we have warmer
weather the doors on my '54 close good, and I never set the door latches out
it. You asked about adhesive removal, I use a 1" wire wheel in my 1/4" die
grinder and a 1/2" end brush with a drill extension on the hinge side. Don't
forget to mask your outside paint on the hinge side as this area gets pretty
tight.
