Cheers Karli used auto glym intensive tar remover, didnt work to well but moisens the adhesive.heating it up helps a little (verry littl) then i rang my mate and got him to rub it off with his thumb. ha seriously found this the most effective way, push hard with your thumb or finger and rub the adhesive try to used the removed glue to take of the rest ( like the way to remove chewing gum is to add more gum. if you get what i mean.)a couple hours and a few blisters later, glue gone ( :haha good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
enzo_e492901 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You need a Toffee Wheel and some kind of drill to use it in.If you go slow they do not damage paint. They are a kind of rubber and wear down quick to avoid overheating the paint, that makes them very messy but by far the easiest way to remove trim glue, foam tape, pinstripes and even decals.It does say not to use on lacquer but ive never had a problem.Gavin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
