Le Mans decals....

Post by smudge » Thu Jul 03, 2014 11:23 pm

Evening all,

so I finally managed to get my arse in gear yesterday & took off the final decals from Le Mans. Only issue is I have quite a bit of sticky backing left on the paint work.

I don't know if it matters product wise, but my car is Ibis white. Does anyone have any tips for getting the tacky residue off? I know I could use various products to literally 'thin' the remaining substance down, but I obviously don't want to damage the paint work in the process.

Ta muchly
It's all torque talk.

Autoglym tar+glue remover is quite good ; trick is to let the fluid soak into the glue a little, then gently wipe. Do this 2/3 times, rather than look to get it all off in the first go. Obviously make sure the body is a clean as possible around the area you're working on, along with a clean microfibre etc. , otherwise you'll just scratch the paint

Awesome, thanks Rossi. I have some of that in the garage somewhere I'm sure.
