sticky stuff from stickers

**namkeaps** · 13-02-2007 20:45

someone who owned the car previously had put some tacky stickers on the car. since removed but left the sticky stuff on

whats best way to get rid? heat gun?

T-Cut or polish.

Even sticker removing solution (I kid you not)

you could try a smooth cloth and some white spirits or some alcohol pads that come with some items that you stick to your car to clean the surface.

I use alcohol wipes at work to clean windows of any grime and old sticky off before sticking new aerials onto windscreens.

Just do not rub too hard or use an abrasive cloth.

they are on the body panels. wont those type of liquids harm the lacquer/paint?

petrol

it's what i used to get all the muck off when i de-badged the car this weekend, just make sure you wash it all off afterwards. cheaper than getting t-cut or polish, seeing as the car's already full of what you need

again did it not dull the paint or anything mate?

nope, looks good as new today. it is a silver car though, so colour changes etc are pretty hard to notice

It shouldnt harm the paint as long as you clean it off as soon as its clean, and then polish over the area as well.

the alcohol in a wipe is enough to shift glue remnants

white spirits does the job well, i use it on my bikes

**gixerboyuk** · 13-02-2007 23:33

wd40 or duck oil and the work credit card as a scraper always worked for me

Auto smart do a can of stuff called jelsol. It's a jelly solvent! It's the boy spray it on feck off for a tab or a cup'o'tea and wipe off. Nice.

**namkeaps** · 14-02-2007 12:45

**CraigGreen** · 14-02-2007 12:55

Petrol or thinners shouldnt do any harm unless youve had a pikey respray in Cellulose...
