Title: lurch - almost naked
Post by: the loon on July 22, 2006, 23:16:26: Took the kids to local(ish) dogs trust open day today as we sponsored a dog for the oldest as a christmas present last year.
They had a few stalls selling general bric-a-brac etc and spotted a hot air gun for Ã‚Â£2 all boxed and in mint condition.

Bought the gun came home and set about the RDS stickers on the sides of lurch and the resuls can be seen below

still need to get some of the sticky residue off (anyone have any hints/tips :?: ) but Lurch looks a lot less yellow now
:wink:

I used brasso on a couple of old pushbike to take off sticky marsks but it used to take off the shine as well(you dont really worry when your 12 :lol: )

The one thing I was pleased with though was the single S (see before pic)
I was worried the TDI sticker would come away as well but the new vinyl came off no worries and the old TDI stuck fast

Spray on a small area, rub with a cloth and the glue comes off!

Post by: bullfrog on July 23, 2006, 12:46:10: I used acetone to remove county graphics from my 90 last week. :!:
Works well and does not damage paint.
I used it years ago to do the same on a capri 2.8 too.
Wished I had'nt as they had sprayed the car and masked the graphics !! :(
I put a small coach line back on to cover the join. :!:
