What would be the best way of removing the 'VTR' stick-ons without removing the paint work with it.

Thank you.

they're just stuck on with crappy glue, wont damage the paint work at all. Might just be a fiddly job trying to get it all off.

So just a case of removing them and then detailing under the glue on the paintwork with like a damp cloth or something?

Cheers. :y:

try pouring boiling water on it to melt the glue?

remove them then use tar remover to get the glue residue off

yes that'd be fine imo.

although someof the detailing geeks will tell you to buy a bottle of special cleaner or something. didnt need it on mine.

I was removing the 'V' and it comes off no problem... but leaves some black glue on the body work so I'll try the boiling water on it and peeling... if nothing I'll use tar remover.

Thanks for the comments guys.

unleaded petrol works a treat mate. much easier than bug and tar remover.

you'll need to polish and wax the surface after to get the shine back as the petrol removes wax and any other products on the area.

1st detailing geek answer haha

Thanks for the 'geek answer' haha! ;)

If none of the other ways work out I'll give this a shot.

Hairdryer will melt the glue making it easy to peel off.
