morgey Posted February 23, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Google a caramel wheel or toffee wheel. Be careful with it though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zachstarlet Posted February 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Henderson Posted February 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted February 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted February 25, 2013 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
