Is there an easy way to get this b1oody stuff off the paintwork?

Only went on a couple of days ago and its gone off like concrete.

Need to get it off before re-fitting my spoiler. Tried using a hairdryer and it hardly makes a difference.

Cheers

Nathan..

Natham,

I recently removed the S U B A R U from my bootlid, it left that black foam sticky tape, I tried loads of things, then my sister said try nail varish remover, and he presto! is worked. It did need a little rubbing but left no marks or paint damage.

Good luck

pete

Nathan...nail varnish remover is acetone and will easily dissolve most glues as will say Autoglym Tar remover.

If you need something strong email me and I'll sort you out.

The missus is very concerned about why I'm asking to borrow her nail polish remover tomorrow
