Anybody know of any effective ways to remove the sticky mess left behind after removing vinyl stickers from bodywork?
Always used WD40 before but this time it's not workin'

on my old van the paint work was very dull and the old signwriting showed up badly so i got a tin of rubbing compound 3 whole days later i had mint looking paintwork looked better than a respray it is hard work but well worth it in the end also works well on white fiberglass roofs on hi tops

T-cut! or is that what rubbing compound is?

petrol, or thinners!

petrol, or thinners!

are you a millionaire??? i can barely afford to put fuel in the van let alone wiping it all over the van

rubbing compound is good but is hard to get hold of t -cut works but requires a lot more elbow grease than rubbing compound last tin of rubbing compound i got was from part co they are also the only place in my area that sells thinners

hair dryer to heat up and scrape off as much as you can then use cellulose thinners

Go the Chemist, and get some 'Meths' (admit to being an Alcaholic if you have to ), its cheap as chips and will get rid of the 'sticky stuff', just dont leave the top off or it will be gone next time you look round!

acetone is good for this but cold on the hands in winter

Tar and glue remover has always worked well.

Find a company that sells to the car valeting trade and buy a gallon off them,

white spirits works best

[gazza]

lighter fluid is another good one

Our body man has some magic wipes, he used them where the amby's old insignia was, they are magic, but he didn't tell me what brand they are, can find out later for you.

a company called Kleeneze do some stuff called "sticky stuff remover" i always found it very good for just about anything like this right through to removing the residue left by sticky plasters on your fingers etc

Cheers, tried petrol as it was all I had to hand, worked a treat no marks not even from sun bleaching, stickers must have not long been on there. Only needed a couple o caps full and used dish washing sponge.
All the best folks, have a good un
