Craig89 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Hello, i have large works rally type stickers on my 205 rallye and i was wondering the best way to remove them without damaging the paint? I was thinking of maybe applying some heat i.e hairdryer or something, Or maybe a steamer? What do people think? Thanks Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atari Boy 11 Posted February 6, 2010 Heat is good way, just dont go too hot so a heir dryer is ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest lee1.6 Posted February 7, 2010 Heat up the decal with hair dryer/heat gun and as your peeling it off keep heating the area your going to be lifting off. If enough heat is applied there shouldnt be much glue left, but to remove the remaining glue use some week thinners on a rag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig89 0 Posted February 7, 2010 I have removed them now, the hair dryer was successful. But i do have a bit of glue remaining, would the best bet be to try the thinners in an inconspicuous place first to ensure it does effect the paint? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddydal 1 Posted February 7, 2010 you can use a proper glue remover or spirit wipe, if you are going to use thinner just do a test area 1st to make sure it doesnt take paint off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Adamrallye Posted February 7, 2010 I have just sent all day yesterday removing glue left from the stickers on my rallye. I used thinner as white spirit didn't do anything. Just make sure you don't wack loads on and its fine and doesnt damage the paint in any way Do a small area, keep rubbing and it will start to crumble off. Add a little more thinner to wipe away the old and job done Does take a while to do it well though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
