How To Get Rid Of This Sticky Crap That Has Stayed Behind After Removing Black Side Strip ?!


Recommended Posts

I peeled the black rubber strips down the side of my r33 gts4 off the other day, i baked the car in the morning sun and peeled them off. One side came off just like a sticker and didnt leave anything behind. The other side i think may of been reglued on or something at some stage and has left this sticky shit behind?! Tried soaking it with WD40 and soaking it in the sun it is a little bit easier but still so stuck on there. Wondering if anyone has some you beaut way of removing it?!

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Cheers !

Hair dryer and you can old credit card or plastic knife...but honestly its often easier with your fingers unforunately..clean with turps ,prepsol,wax and grease remover or maybe bug and tar remover..but dont scrub at it or it will.scratch

ITs a pain in the ass that stuff I know, it wither comes off clean or doesn't come off. My work used to put stickers all over my truck and it was the same deal :/

Got it all off ! I got a supercheap club plus card and sharpened an edge on the concrete and soaked the crap out of the sticky stuff with 5.56 which is just a cheap WD40. It came off so easy took me 5 minutes to do the whole side of the car when earlier it took me a good 15 mins just to do the tiny but on the front quarter, and didnt mark the paint at all! Would recommend doing this to anyone that gives it a go i was suprised at how easy it came off ! There are still a few tiny specs but i think they should come off with a good polish !

thanks for your help ARTZ, was having a mind blank didnt even think to use a plastic card !

    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!    
    • If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
    • Beauty, thanks guys, got some ideas now. I note that none of you agreed with the flap disc so that's good to know. 👌🏻
