Removing The Remenants Of Bump Strips!


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks!

probably been posted millions upon millions of times before, but i obviously missed them all!

yesterday i finally got round to removing the adhesive from the bump strips on the side of my sportif! The outcome looks a lot better for obvious reasons but the pain i went through...

My list of tools;

NO HAIRDRYER! (alot of people suggested it)...

1 x Plastic Ruler (for scraping the adhesive)

1 x Bottle of Auto Glym - Intensive Tar Remover

1 x Bottle of Isopropyl Cleaning fluid (to lift any specs of adhesive that remained)

1 x Old dish cloth

Time Taken;

4...yes... FOUR FRIGGIN HOURS!

I went through 8 smokes and 6 cups of tea! The worst thing was, it was chucking it down!

im happy with the result though :p will get some pics up later...

feel free to tell me what i done wrong, and how much easier it would have been if...

Kind regards,

Nathan

Mate........did mine in 10min flat and put a coat of wax on perfect job never used it again but its there if i every need it just make sure you have the original paintwork (paintshops use a lower temp to set the paint due to plastic trims etc)
