explain baked on? as in it was a normal sticker which was put on the duco and then through heat from the sun is stuck on?

if thats the case, use a hair dryer to heat the sticker up and make it plyable. then using a rag, rub hard and break the sticker up, then using a cutting paste, cut and polish the area to remove the sticky residue.

Yeah pretty much as you said cheez... normal sticker gone hard over time due to nature.

Thanks cheez, ive heard that before I will try it, needed someone to reafirm my ideas, cool.

get a hair dryer.... heat over the sticker for a couple of minutes... then buy yourself a bottle of Eucoliptous oil (hope I spent it right) and with a small tower... start to crub it off slowly - it will come off!!

Like they said use some heat, but I prefer to use a toffee wheel to remove the glue, its a rubber wheel that fixes to a drill, use it on a slow high torque setting and it takes it off with out using sometimes dangerous chemicals, really really good product!!

Your find them on ebay:

step 1,,,,,,,,borrow a heat gun, apply heat, not to close, then start to peel with your nail, if you know any panel beaters,painters or house painters, they will have one, or buy cheap one from bunnings,

step 2,,,,,,use a wax and grease remover to remove the glue thats left on panel,

step 3,,,,,,polish, as will be a shade diffrence around where sticker was,

step 4,,,,go into panel shop, get them to do it, a sat morning best and slip them 10 bucks, only takes 5 mins to do if you have correct tools

thats some shithouse english right there....

seriously though, ive used a razorblade to do it many times and it works a treat. i know it sounds dodgy but if u have half a clue as to what you are doing you will easily be able to take off the adhesive without scratching the crap out of your paint

Thanks all for the suggestions, I guess heat is the solution, Cheers !!

[killswitch88]

not the easiest way to go about it but yeah.....u can do what u want

may be freez the stickers with dry ice..

^^^^^lmao except for that

that sucks. i used to be a detailer for about 4 years. the way we used to do it is with a heat gun then peel it off in sections. use a bit of preptone or prepsol. then cut and polish it. if its baked on, trust me when i say your always gonna see where the sticker was on your duco

good luck
