AFA decals and sticky stuff, according to my wife, Martha Stewart prefers "goo
gone" -- presumably for off of her classic car cleaning tasks. In fact, I heard
that her classic car hobby is the real reason that Martha is moving out of her
New England neighborhood; like Triumph listers Robert and Jeff, she is peaved
that ordinances prevent her from working on her project cars on the curb in
front of her estate.

I had some tape on my TR4 from the temp tag, left a sticky residue. I'll likely
use vegetable oil to remove it -- a trick of my wife's from collecting 50's
dinnerware at yard sales.
