Removing glue residue ?
 
Guys looking for a bit off advice, got a bit off aluminium here which has glue residue on it which I am trying to clean off, tried steeping the part in hot soapy water to see if it would soften the residue enough to remove it but unfortunately not, anything else worth trying that will shift the stuff and won't discolour the finish itself ?

My mum swears by using vinegar

Some white spirits should be ok

Go to a sign maker they have incredible effective stuff

Ask for the one that smell like oranges

WD40 can also soften it prior to removal

Heat gun and scraper?

Acetone often works. It'll remove superglue for example. It'll 'melt' some plastics though.

Unless he owns an Audi TT then he can just open the boot to get his. :lol1:
