just washed my car and removed an old wrx sticker with the hair dryer technique, and im left with all the sticky resedue on the bootlid... like the backing of the sticker. i cant get it off and it looks terrible and feels all rough.


please help me im so ashamed of my back end now.

 

Dab and rub it off with nail polish remover.

 

Or use some car polish on it. I used Merr, the residue then came off a lot easier.

 

will that not bring the paint off mate. just checking????

 

as i dont wear nail varnish, a dash of optimax has a similar effect.

 

nothing has worked lads!!! hot hot soapy water, nail varnish remover polish... help it looks crap. its not even sticky any more, just like a rough sticker shaped surface!!!

 

I GOT MINE OFF WITH TURPS SUBSTITUTE

 

Mine came off easy with Tar remover.

 

Tar remover all the way, it never fails.

 

wd40

 

The only way to go

 

just got some sticky glue ****e off my scoob with plenty of white spirit, old rag and my thumb nail (no scratches on paintwork ) ruddy good polish were the glue was. job is a goodun.




would you like a knife and fork? as you are making a bit of a meal of it,

 

i dunno what im doing wrong. its just not coming off at all. where can i get tar remover and white spirit from, im really struggling on this one, i dont care how much i get ripped on this, its just not working.

 

WD40; its a demon tweak, youll be surprised how well it works and it wont dissolve your lacquer either.

 

Halfords "would" have been your best bet. but a bit tooo late now, amigo. looks like your "stuck" (pardon the pun ) with it until tommorow. just be patient trying to get it off. its very easy to lose your rag and senses and start attacking the problem with as much finess as a 20 stone gay biker, in a tutu. trying to dance to swan lake!! good luck, mate

 

il try the tar remover tomorrow at my incles garage. he valets for a living anyway so knows his ****!!

just upset as my **** end looks very untidy now and today was my polishing day after getting my sti version 6 spoiler fitted yesterday.

 

Nip over to your local Tescos.

In their laundry products area look for a small spray tin called 'DE-SOLV-IT'
(about 7" tall, white with a blue cap when I last bought a tin)

It's a stain remover and prewash but it gets the sticky from lables off pretty easily (smells nice too..lol)

Hopefully it will do what you want.

Ady.

 

Methalated spirits (purple liquid)

 

no need to go to Tesco's for it either. mug a tramp!! you know it makes sense

 

an angle grinder will get it off

 

....

The guy is asking serious advise ,you noob jockey

 

pmsl

 

A Clay Bar could do the trick, and its safe.

 

cheers man, appreciate you understanding. im used to the dry sense of humour some guys have on here but i was looking for the serious advice lol not an angle grinder. although it was nearly considered earlier.

this is a pic of it now, and as long as i get it off tomorrow il post another pic after a polish.

 

WD40

 

didnt work mate. tried several sprays and rubbing down etc, but no luck, even with a tea towel.

giving up...

 

I got rid of exactly the same residue with the cleaner provided with a caliper paint kit. You can kill two birds with one stone... spruce up your calipers, and clean your paintwork! Good luck.
