Hot water and a hair dryer

loctite do a special glue remover stuff

 

WD40 jus deagrease before the new one goes on

Get the polish out quick then before the paint falls off

 

lol yeah went over with the polish

my dad uses it all the time on a 60K range rover so it
should be right

 

hi

you've put "Wot" in the thread title, it should be "What"

any chance you could change it please as it really pisses me off..

thanks..

 

i used nail varnish remover

 

ive always used white spirit, never had any problems at all.

 

Wot u on about westy, l8r

 

has to be one..

oops, sori, has 2b 1

 

dojnt use celulose thiners if the paint is can celulose thinners btw buyt more fords are done in 2 pack

forgot to mention that

 

text talk

 

boiling water to get sticker off, methylated spirit to get glue off

 

If your as good as me you shouldn't leave any glue on

Forget all the white spirits etc....to remover glue get some UPVc cleaner, leave on for 30 seconds then simply wipe off & T-Cut/polish

 

I would go for that method aswell works well for me

Matt

 

Thinners isnt always a good idea as it can make certain glue's even stickier if ur not careful!!!!

and as ginge says if its used on celly it'll take it off!!! best to use the proper stuff 2 do it right

 

cheers, thought u would be the man for the job,

i now know for next time

 

meths

 

best thing mate, is meths if its just the glue your removing. when its evaporated, wipe it clean again so as not to get an oily mark on the paint. however if the sticker is still there, pick at the edge, get some tweezers, and pour hot not boiling water over it as you pull it off. this method leaves no sticky mess to clear up.
