As above Guy's - hoping for some tips/hints on removing a thin layer of residue from paintwork, tried white spirit with no joy

Also tried rubbing it off with my finger and a bit of friction, not much help, so any tip would be great - apart from "Shouldn't have it got it on there in the first place !!" Don't want to remove the paint too

You are obviously doing it wrong mate





On a serious note, I bought a tube of silicon remover from B&Q once after some over zealous bathroom suite fitting action, may do the job Si

 

There's nothing like a good rub

Is there such a product - that's great - I'll have a look to-morrow, reckon it's blue paint friendly

Dean, Si.

 

Simon, when I had the road paint on my car Eclipse used a non-acidic wheel cleaner (I have some which is based on a fruit compound) - it was rated as ok to use on paint and did not damage the paintwork.

I would then polish the paintwork after.

 

That's interesting - thanks Tyron - I'll have a look down that road too

 

how much you got on there ? if you are down this way give me a shout save you buying anything

 

That's a very kind offer - I work in Orchard Street, where you based ?

P/S. It's not too much now, basically it's the leading edge of a Vortex Generator, and there are portions that I can't seem to budge, the portions are'nt all the way accross either

 

loctite fast orange hand cleaner will get it off

Nice one ; )

Tyron - you still wanting the decal ?

 

Yes please

 

The Sti and the grey lettering ???

 

Cerise I think

 

The Sti bit is cerise - the lettering " Subaru Technica International" in graphite - as standard I think.

 

Nice to meet you and many thanks for attacking the residue, very kind of you

Will book for a spring clean when I can free up the car for you to have, it's our daily driver so will be missed

Si
