How can we do this?
I've heard you can use a hair dryer but would be a bit embarrassing with the general public going buy... :lol:
-
you could use a wall paper scraper...... but it plays havoc with the paint work :dance:
-
Used isoprpyl alcohol and white spirit with t-cut to finish
-
Hair dryer is the easiest way, genly warm the sticker and peel off.
-
Blowtorch ;)
But seriously ... hair dryer to get it warm and it comes off. Then either WD40 or wot Evilgoat said to take off the residual glue.
-
Grinder... :twisted:
Ok that was for my old Vdub, seriously a hair dryer. :afro:

Yep, hairdryer or VERY careful use of the hot air gun. You do look daft drying your car..... almost as daft as painting it with a roller :lol:
-
hairdryer is def the answer, but just make sure you dont get the panel toooo hot as they geta bit warpy, dont ask me how i know, i just doo.
-
easier than a hairdyer, Boiling water from a kettle, pour it on, by the time u put down the kettle, the glue will be softened and the residual water (if there is any) will be cool enough to touch
-
i was just about to say the same as mudrat, great minds think alike, lol
-
use a hair drier mate, i did with my county stickers and i got bored and just ripped em off but it left all the sticker residue so be patient
cheers kieran
-
may i also recommend baby wipes (the cheaper the better )for removing any residual adhesive. bizarre but true. Also ace for cleaning fly splat!
-
heat gun . . . thats no hairdryer :lol:
i messed up with my sticker on my bonnet it pealed because of a dodgy respray so i took the rest of the sticker off because it was lifting
now i have a mud club logo in my bonnet in primer :roll:
-
Wait til a hot summers day.
I used a hair dryer to remove the standard decals from the 110 and also the HUGE Maddie McCann graphics after our Spain / France tour.
Since when did the neighbours opinions count. Ours all think I'm mad and keep guns in the Cellar.. thing is I don't have a cellar. Are they calling me mad????!?? eh! eh! :lol:
-
Pity you aren't nearer to me, we chuck loads of Isopropyl out at work [-X
-
Heat gun or hair drier like the rest of you say worked for me then a bit of petrol on a clean cloth to get the gum off.Works a treat.
-
Hairdryer...
-
Gaffa tape can be used to remove excess sticky too - no guarantees that it won't cause bubbled paintwork to come off too mind! It does work a treat for removing the remains of price labels from CD boxes though.
-
Best way I've found is to simply peel them off and then use Isopropyl to get rid of anything that's left. Takes a bit of elbow grease, but is easier than WD40, white spirit, baby wipes etc . . .
