Double sided tape removal tip req'd
 
I've bought a set of seconhand STi entry/sill protectors and I'm trying to get the darn old double sided tape off.
It appears nuclear blast proof, as so far I've tried a hair dryer and a razor blade but it's going to take a month of Sundays.

Any seasoned pro out there with any tips? :)

tried a little petrol? i have used this to remove the double-sided tape that holds badges on. doesn't damage paintwork either providing it is washed off

Hair dryer? You big girl; get a heat gun and some welders gloves. Be very carefull what you heat up though.....

WD40 will remove most adhesives without damaging rubber or paint, let it soak for a while.

Acetone (nail varnish remover)

another vote for WD40, although has any one thought its about time they updated the design of the can and logo? I cant believe they still sellotape the red straw to the side of it! An the graphics are the same as when I was "knee high to a grasshopper".
