use a hair dryer and roll ur finger over it once its hot to pull off the shit ..

use goo remover or metho to remove the sticky stuff thats left.. go easy on both as they may damage your paint.. doubt it tho

[Zas)-(]

i dunno what goo thing is is it sumfin to remove glue?

i do have metho but wont that cut the paint?

shit !!!!! hairdryer...no hairdryer i just chucked it in the bin... 2 weeks go

hot water?? more hot water and metho?

I wouldn't use metho mate, you can damage the paint over time doing that, happened to me after some annoying little s**t spray painted the back of my car with obscenities

Maybe just apply heat as suggested and perhaps that big kevs goo remover os something similar?

ahh rite rite big kev is dat dude still around?

rito will go to the hardware to get some kind of goo and glue remover

cheers bois

yeah as above.. if you do some how manage to damage your paint and if its only minor you can use meguires scratch X to get rid of it

OH LET WD40 OR A PENETRATING OIL SOAK IN. woops caps

and then it will wipe off.

ideally heat with the hairdrier then rince with wd.

Eucalyptus oil

You can get it at the chemist and it won't affect the paint. Brilliant for removing just about anything sticky. Saturate some cotton wool and keep wiping. Turn the cotton wool every time it gets gummed up and use a new cotton ball if necessary.

By the time your finished you should have cleared your sinuses as well, hey presto, no more cold

btw the glue has hardened.. are u sure it will soften up and come out?

it is no longer sticky everything is like rock hard sh*t....

lol

turps will get it off, rub it with a rag. as long as you dont rub too hard and wash off when your done your paint will be fine.

I've used Eucalyptus oil for tree sap and badge goo, works extremely well; you must let it soak in and rub, then reapply and do it all over again. Pulls it off well.

Yeh man I used turps on mine and wrecked the duco, my mistake was I was at work and someone had sprayed C**T in huge bright orange letters on the boot of my car, so like an idiot I wiped it off using too much turps and didn't really wash it off all that well... So I had to respray the whole boot MAKE SURE you wash it off well if you use turps!!!

mineral spirits will remove any glue residue/oil residue on paint.

Paint has been treated to withstand mineral spirits so there is no risk in using it.

mineral will remove oils off paint, including wax (if you applied any), so best to re-apply wax in the area which was covered in spirits.

Mineral spirits are a low cost version of body shop prep chemicals like Prepsol or Acrysol. They remove wax and other chemicals from the paint surface.

All are safe for cured automotive paint finishes.
