CardiffSupra Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had the plastic on the mirrors too, Looked like they had been on for years, Just take a hair dryer to them and use a stanley blade to take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 You need Acetone mate!! It'll get sh!t off a blanket and shouldn't damage the paintwork or the windows or so I'm told...... H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hair drier to get to warm the sticker up, then white spirit or meths to remove any glue residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeatphr Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Also something I use to get glue and tar off our cars is a clay bar with soap and water. Works great and doesnt do any damage to the paint. At ALL!! Let me know how that goes! Cheers, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJButler Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had those stickers on mine, don't know what the hell the idea was but after trying all sorts of things to get rid of them i ended up scraping them of with a razor blade type paint scraper, took a couple of mins each side and did not damage the mirrors.
