    Hi lads,

    Any ideas are welcome.

    I've just de-badged my car. Problem is there's still a lot of glue/adhesive stuck there. It peeled away fine after using the hairdryer on it. But there's still some patches left, plus there's a lot of residue there still.

    I don't have any white spirits, tried vodka(lol), still very hard to remove.

    I was wondering if anyone had similar problem and can give me some advice.

    Carburetor cleaner is pretty powerful stuff designed to shift sooty disposits in carbs and fuel/air chambers on injection cars. I've used it for various other jobs. WD40 is a solvent too, might be worth a go.

    WD40 does the job. Used it on some of my old cars. Just make sure to clean the residue off afterwards. I wouldn't be using white spirits on it.

    Nail polish remover is very good at removing glue deposits.

    Petrol is very good, used it on an ex-guarda car that was covered in glue residue after stripping the florestant strips off it, and it worked for most of it, I used t-cut paste on the stubborn bits.:) :)
