green_dragon Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 After removing the wind deflectors I'm left with loads of ultra sticky, ultra stubborn glue which wont come off. What can i use?? I've tried tar remover, autoglym resin remover, soap and water and a stanley blade (which keeps taking chunks out of the plastic) I even tried thinners on a really small bit, and yes , it did melt the plastic What do you guys think I should try??

Jake Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Aerosol brake cleaner is really good for removing some types of adhesive. Other glues come off well with celulose thinners, white spirit, petrol, lighter fluid, meths, Acetone (Nail Varnish Remover) Always test a very small area first, for obvious reasons.

Suprasteve Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 i took mine off a few days ago and had the some problem with the sticky stuff. I tried everything but nothing worked. In the end i rubbed it off with my thumb which worked but ended up with a blister !!! it was worth it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toms Supra Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Only downside I found to taking off deflectors if your window is open and you wash the screen it all comes in, and if its raining with window slightly open, where as it doesnt with them on lol.

merckx Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Where exactly is the sticky stuff? I normally use methylated spirits, it helps if you warm it up a little with a hairdryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lili Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Bicarbonate of soda made into a paste with a little water and then scrub it ...if its still stubborn cover the sticky patch with more bicarb and use a little distilled white vinegar on the bicarb which will make it fizz ...let it sit a few minutes then try scrubbing.

Tyson Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I don't know what's worse, the fact it took this poor chap 16 years to get an answer or that I was still in secondary school when this was posted 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
