My S1 obviously had TV aerials mounted on the roof with some form of double sided sticky. I've got the little mounting plates off but dont know what to use to get the mgoo/rubbery stuff off the roof without damaging the duco. Have tried petrol and turps but it didn't work.

Any clues please?

Prepsol or any wax and grease remover, most places carry it in some form

sorry i did try eucalyptus oil.

I dont think illbe trying HCl.

Not all Stageas have them, only the ones wit TV or SatNav.

Havnt tried MEK yet. Have togo down to Surfers for it.

id say its probably eurathane and id say try prepsol if not ask the local panel beater.

you have to be carefull with the paint as mek may react with the duco.

Finally got some goo remover. K+H Surface Technologies WAX&GREASE REMOVER. Its an aerosol. Does not affect duco.You also need a long strong thumb nail.

got the goo off the roof of mine today i used 2 stroke fuel and it slowly disolved what looked like silicone from under the double sided tape it took about 1 hr to do both then cut and pollished the area.apart from the assholes who removed them putting a couple of scratches up there (only small) where they prised them off with a screwdriver it came up well.

The wheelsofprogress turn slowly in Stagealand. :D:)

I used some stuff called "UHU Goo-remover" to remove my badges.

I find rubbing it really hard with your finger works too, when the goo gets hot it just rubs off.

I would image using a heat gun of sorts and a platic knife would work better.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
