Tips for removing sticky sticker residue?

[johnny_h]

Anyone got any miracle cure? I have removed the plastic pinstripe from the side of the fezza and it's left behind this NASA approved industrial superstrength sticky shit. I've tried boiling water and a plastic scraper but it hardly touches it. CheeRS

nail varnish remover. But check it on a door shut or something, dont want to be to blame if it ruins your paint.

I used rubbing compound when i did the Cortina. Just apply it, leave it for a few minutes and then it should just 'ball' off.

I'd use thinnners, but go easy and try a bit first in case its shit paint

before you go putting thinners or anything on try a good t-cut first

 

you dont wana upset your paint

Use celly thinners on celly paint and it will take the paint right off, WD40 will take a multitude of glues off bodywork, so will petrol or lighter fluid,

Carg cleaner will also take a lot of glues off, but will soften celly paint if you use too much.

Thanks for all the ideas, I took it to my work and used some tar and glue remover combined with their power steam cleaner in the end. Took the fooker reet off! The car is being resprayed so I wasn't too worried about paint damage. The end result will be in my Toadsta resto thread soon.

3M, and body shop don't use them at all, always leave enougth to help a home work.

WD40 removes chewing gum from hair !

 

Also as Khan says, Autoglym to a Tar Remover, that works a treat and doesnt fook up your paint.
