Debaged but sticky stuff remains - help

[Hammerhead]

I debadged the car today using a hairdryer but have been left with some hard to shift residue. I tried some autoglym tar remover but it still wouldn't shift. Perhaps the hairdryer isn't hot enough? Anyone got any tips to get rid of these last bits?

Cheers,

Steve

The only time I've ever done it, I just took my time and rubbed it off with my hands. It takes time, but it will work, just go slowly.

Try some Tardis

Thanks DetailDoctor - just ordered some

DetailDocter - YHM!

Cheers,

Give the Tardis time to work, it may take more than one hit to get it off.

Failing that if I'm in the area any time soon I'll let you know & pop by to have a look.

Thanks, DD - much appreciated

Bilt Hamber surfex HD used neat worked for me when i removed some badges.

Well, I soaked, rubbed & scraped with a card for a couple of hours or so today and made very little progress It's either an acrylic or super-glue and it's proving to be very uncooperative - think I need some pro help!

Have you tried a hot air gun?????

[Hammerhead]

Haven't got a hot air gun per se - just Mrs Hammerheads hairdryer. Guess that's not hot enough?

Cellulose thinners. Works every time, and you'll get as high as a kite in the process!

Has to be worth a go surely. FAiling that if you are around North Bristol any time pop by & I'll take gander.

If you are using Mrs. H's hairdryer, try using some of her nail varnish remover , that'll shift it....

just buy some tar and glue remover from halfords or other auto motive shops.

thats what I did when removing my Mrs' cooper badge.

its handy to have as well for removing tar spots off the bottom of the doors, front bumper etc.

That's jusy a weaker version of Tardis.

I have used loctite adhesive remover in the past, warm on the residue with a hair dryer first, then apply the adhesive remover and it should come off easily

Then give the area a good polish and wax

I used scratchX, oddly Must have been just abrasive enough to remove stickyness. Mine was more thinly spread though and only visible at certain angles.

Try some Kent Super Release Agent; It's a commercial aerosol product used by windscreen/window fitters and will not damage paint etc. I used it some very long areas of adhesive backed foam that looks similar to your photo and after 5 minutes of soaking time it came off with just a quick rub with shop cloth.
