I removed my rub strips today...

What's the best way to get rid of the sticky tape they leave?? I used t-cut and about 2 hours on my badges and cba doing it that way lol... How have other people done it without using a toffee wheel??

Cheers Carl..

Tar and glue remover, I think some people have used petrol too.

Would have been easier if you'd heated the strips with a heatgun first as it then removes most the glue with it, bit late now though!

I gave up trying to do it without toffee wheel, and took it to a friend of a friends to get it done.

I tired everything including petrol, credit card etc and took me hours. Toffee wheel took matter of seconds

I used a boiled kettle when i done my white corsa. Just poured it slowly over the top of the strips. Melted most of the glue away
