Glue Stain Removal - How To

To purchase Motsenbocker's Lift Off #2, click here.

NEW Method!

Motsenbocker's Lift Off #2 is a petroleum based, commercially and industrially proven formulation that can effectively remove such items as: oil stains, adhesives, bumper stickers, chewing gum, pencil marks, pitch/sap, contact paper, candle wax, creosote, crayons, price stickers, tar, lipstick, shoe polish, fresh oil based paint and petroleum based silicone. It can be used on carpets, fabrics, hardwood floors, metal, formica, exhaust fans, vinyl, plastic, barbecues, tools, tile and chains. The product works better than existing products; it works in the same reactionary time; it is safe on all surfaces (except styrene plastics); it costs the same or less than other products and it is safe for the user.
