Just de-badged the whole car, but keeping bump strips. But there is a lsit of problems.

1, The badges on the door came off not too bad. One looked as if it had some superglue or summit on a part as its rock hard on a part. How do i get it off?


Also some of the sticky stuff is getting really haard to remove. I have been doing it for 1hour 45mins and only the foam stuff is coming off.



Any idea what i can use to remove the sticky residue? Iv looked for white spirit and all we have is turps. Girlfriend has some apple schnapps?

Thanks

I done this on the sri with the dodgey red strips they have

I used carb/injector cleaner (£1) and a sponge, broke down the sticky stuff with the carb cleaner and rolled off onto the sponge, didnt finish tho took me 2 hours so far

Thin it out a bit and make sure you clean it properly after application. Keep at it.
