Meths/ White spirit..

[Robert]

Will it cause any damage to paintwork?

Noticed some left over glue that aint budging and got told to use one of these.. Just wanting to check it wont damage the paintwork. :wasntme:

not really no, use petrol if its like glue off a badge bump strip, or ducktape glue, just wash it off properly and t cut the area/full car after, make sure all the petrol/terps is off mind!

 

[Robert]

dont have any petrol around in a can i dont think.. thanks i'll get out and do it in a sec me thinks

dont use petrol it stains the paint. Get a small bottle of celulose thinners but test it on a hidden area. Its the best stuff for this job.

I used tar remover when debadging my car and it took the left over glue off great.

i used some stuff grandad found in the kitchen.

White powder stuff for kitchen worktops, but worked a treat

There's slight damage to the paint where the glue must have lifted it, but its hardly noticable, even when your close.

My dad gave me a huge bottle of white spirit to get the remains off from the bumpstrips, it worked fine on small bit's but takes a while!!! Have still got some really stubborn bits to remove tho!!!
