supRo Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Try lighter fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Autoglym tar and sticky stuff remover. Got mine from halfords. it doesn't damage paintwork, but i'd rcommend a touch of wax polish after you've removed the goo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 spirit wipe/panelwipe and a hot air gun to soften it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Had the same problem! I used a combination of a hairdryer to get the pad off and the AutoGlym tar remover to break down the glue. WOrks fine but your nails will hurt after..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 that tar and bug stuff can be very good, if there are any marks left that you can't shift, maybe a gentle use of a clay bar might remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Just friendly advice.....DONT use a hot air gun....the underlying paint will soften more than the adhesive pads / strips:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Really? How does that work? assume it's the solvent in it that dissolves the glue, and hopefully not the paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just friendly advice.....DONT use a hot air gun....the underlying paint will soften more than the adhesive pads / strips:) well i've been in the trade for 13 years and for removing double sided tape/body moulding tapes i have always used a hot air gun and spirit wipe. maybe i'm wrong but i have never had this problem of the paint going soft, I will admit though you do need to use a bit of common sense when using heat on paint:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
