Side strip glue...
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?

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

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
