Zee Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hey Just a quickie, I really want to remove this sticker off the "back" window! It on the outside and is proving difficult to budge, as you can see from the piccy i've a bit of a "pick" at it! Maybe some paint thinners?...altho knowing my luck i'd prob spill it all over the paintwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 hair dryer to get the outer sticker off then some tcut for the excess glue ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I suggest patience and a hairdryer, be careful not to burn your fingers tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I did mine the other day. I just picked with my nail and then a splash of meguiars glass cleaner. Any household glass cleaner will do. I did clay the windows though which lifted the small anout of excess glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Get your girls nail polish remover. It is mild and gets glue off glass It is great for removing the marks left by the dealers stickers from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hairdryer, followed by glass polish or nail polish remover for the residue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Stanley Knife blade, 30 second job, just keep the blade as flush to the glass as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sticky Stuff Remover from Robert Dyas..... Or WD40, or anything that has an ammount of citrus in it as the natural acid will break down the stickystuff (Probably more alkaline based...)

BulletMagnet Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 If tht's the case, why not just cut a lemon in half and rub that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 stay clear of paint thinners. Wouldn't like to see it running down your bodywork. Lighter fuel is a excellent way to remove the glue. Put some on a cloth and it will do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 If tht's the case, why not just cut a lemon in half and rub that? Might work, might need to be a little more concentrated. Will try it on mine on the weekend and put up a how too if it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I will apply the lemon solution, and then both of us can stare very hard at the sticker... It will be off in no time, if there are 4 of us staring at the sticker and thinking "dissolve sticker, dissolve" whilst chanting ancient sticker removing prayers, it will take at least half the time of 2 of us doing it....

Hes too much of a sticker removing pro, one little thought of removing a sticker could render all the Zeds in world undriveable!! Actually, Uri could be very usefull in the making of custom zorsts and headers for the Zed... And his mate Russel Grant could help in forecasting what bhp your Zed will make with Mods before you go FI!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zee Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I managed to get the sticker off at lunchtime today! A new scalpel blade did the trick, then cleaned off the remaining adhesive with lighter fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou-Lou Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Another good one is that Auto Glym bug and tar remover... gets stuff off really easily.. and you can use it on paintwork.. After I took my graphics off the MR2 I cleaned up the paintwork with that.. worked a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
