Side strip glue...

[M1VT]

So,i took the sidestrips off my car today(MK3 polo Saloon) and there's a fair amount of the glue left,now i did the whole hot water/heairdryer thing..it helped..but not much.

Been told not to use WD40 as its a penetrative and will slowly strip le paint....no what the hell can i use that WONT strip the paint?

WD40 shouldn't strip the paint off surely?

its a penetrative oil,so if a lot is used in a small area,it will eventually get into the paint its self and start to shift it

i may just try a few claybars + detailing spray

worked on tint glue

[saxolenny]

bug and tar remover old bank/credit card or plastic scraper

spray it on get a semi-thin cloth wrap the card/scrapper in the cloth so you dont scratch the paint work spray on the bug and tar remover and scrape it till it comes off

[saxolenny]

or try petrol instead of bug n tar remover
