EP91_STARLET Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Heat gun on low and a cloth with white spirits Quote
EP91_STARLET Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 And nothing's happening its so annoying Quote
morgey Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I used white spirits/tar glue remover and an old bank card. Leaves slight marks but a bit if a good polish and these came out. Quote
EP91_STARLET Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 I did that and it won't come off at all Quote
morgey Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Erm duno then. You got any tar and glue remover to try, see if thats more effective? Quote
EP91_STARLET Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 I was using clearplan tar remover and it didn't budge literally Quote
Bean Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Google a caramel wheel or toffee wheel. Be careful with it though! Quote
zachstarlet Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hairdryer,thumb rubbing and patience, then a good polish took us 3 hours per side but well worth it.We also sprayed the adhesive with WD40 to try dissolve the 3m strip, also used Mr Sheen. Quote
Socks Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Google a caramel wheel or toffee wheel. Be careful with it though! x2 on this one... Can leave marks if any pressure is used tho that will need a buffing wheel to polish back out but by far the easiest way! Thats for sure! Quote
Dan_Henderson Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I used a Stanley knife blade to CAREFULLY remove most of the glue then used sticky stuff remover from halfords and rubbed it off the a cloth then gave it a polish, be very carefully if you use a blades tho, it's too easy to mark the paint, and take your time don't rush it Quote
Bean Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 the caramel wheel just wips it straight off. just make sure you get the rpm right from what ever your using to spin it. Quote
rmsnoel Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 White spirits arnt great. Asda have 'sticky stuff remover' it neutralises the adhesive and turns it to a goo that wipes off easily. No white spirits. Cellulose thinners maybe What dan said.. Only a old creditcard instead of a stanleyknife Quote
EP91_STARLET Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Woah a lot of advice there! Thanks a lot people im gonna attempt this today and ill post a picture on how well I succeed or fail Quote
Asad Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 another one for the caramel wheel took 10-15min to take all of the bump strips off + clean and polish a 5dr ep Quote
EP91_STARLET Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 I'm halfway through using halfords 'sticky stuff remover' with a credit card! Looking good thanks people Quote
