Default De badging help

Hi everyone. I have started debadging by car, I have taken advice off here and used a hair drier and dental floss to remove lettering and have tried the White spirit to remove what's left but doesn't seem to work that well. Any other tips please

I recently did mine, and struggled getting the black glue crap off.....tried all sorts. I tried Megs bug and tar remover, but it didn't seem to do much......But I also sprayed it over the area, but then got busy doing something else, and left it for an hour by mistake. When I went back to it, it wiped off fairly easy to be honest!

Panel wipe is what you need! I'm thinking of marketing it as sticker residue remover!

hi,

i used Farecla G3 cutting compound on mine to get rid of the muck, it will give it a deep shine for you but do the whole boot as you will notice if you don't. then when your done you can use it again to buff the car.

I used the dental floss and hair dryer method and with a bit of elbow grease and a couple of blisters I got all the glue off. I found that White spirit dried out the remnents of the glue and was easy to remove then.

Pop to your local Homebase or B&Q store look for the HG Hagesan range and get a product called "Sticker Remover" this will remove any left over glue.

As it's the weekend, swap tea and ginger nuts/rich tea/hobnobs for something in a can and hopefully more than 4% alcohol
