How to remove adhesive


Kazuma

Recommended Posts

Hey, I purchased from Toyota a new Supra logo for my car. I've removed the old one but some of the adhesive still remains. Can anyone suggest something to remove it? I've tried with a plastic spatula and my finger nail but it's quite touch and there is a fair bit!

 

Cheers

Tar & Glue remover - I use this at work to remove the glue left over from the ambulance stickers. Spray it on and allow it to soak in for 30 seconds! Use a plastic scraper to help protect the paint. The last thing you want is to scratch the paint using a metal scraper. After the glue is removed it helps to apply a thin layer of polish to clean the area before applying the new badge. It works a treat :)

I've used this stuff lots including removal the glue residue from a sign written van and even the glue off my Supras dash where tweaters and a DAB aeriel were glued to my dash without any issues. For more stubborn glue leave it soak it for a bit and then go over it again.

Agreed, this stuff does what it says on the tin and as Mark says just soak remove and re soak, you only

need a bit of cloth to wipe the dissolved glue off the panel

 

You don't need scrapers or anything else
