hair dryer/heat gun and eucalyptus oil

I'd be wary of metho, wouldn't it 'fog' the paint?

+1. eucalyptus oil work a treat for all that stuff. use it to do my rego stickers and those anoying service/oil stickers machanics love. never had a problem wit it damaging a single thing.

ive used a heat gun to take off stickers before.

Just be careful not to leave the heat gun in one spot. Gets them off no problem at all.

I took of a metal HKS badge on my skyline, however it left behind some glue residue... ive tried metho and wax and grease remover to get it off but no luck...

I was wanting to try the orange stuff that would guys been talking about.. i hear you can get it at bunnings... anyone know what it is called?

I have got some of this stuff at home, I can't remember the name but its in a clear bottle with a small picture of an orange on the front of it i think, and the header is wax and grease remover.

If you ask the bunnings staff they will probebly know what your talking about.

I have used the hair dryer and wax and grease remover to remove stickers before too.

    • 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.
