McDude 33 Posted April 30, 2008 Hairdryer to heat up the glue so they come off. Alcohol wipes to remove any excess glue. Do the new stickers look the same as the old ones? If so why the change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toddydal 1 Posted April 30, 2008 also you can boil the kettle and pour the boiling water over the sticker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerlewislewis 0 Posted April 30, 2008 good replys guys. The current ones are about 10 years old. And look worse than the pics. Peeling etc Ger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Last Legend 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Go with a combination of kettle then hair dryer then AutoGlyms Tar and Glue remover to get the stickey residue off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOsMAN 10 1 Cars Posted May 5, 2008 saw a program on removing stickers and the best method was to use mayonaise ..apply onto sticker leave for a while and it comes off easily and no glue residue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabz 0 Posted May 5, 2008 hmm mayo sounds interesting..especially on a nice hot day in the sun hairdryer has always done me proud, with plenty of elbow grease afterwards to remove the sticky bits that get left behind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerlewislewis 0 Posted May 5, 2008 "saw a program on removing stickers" due you really gotta get out more, nearly spat my pint all over the keyboard! but serously, cheers for the advice, I might give the mayo a try - I can always dip my chips in it if I get no joy.

Arahan 4 Posted May 5, 2008 I tried it today, used mayo to get rid of some glue that was left behind when i took some stickers off afew weeks ago, left it on for 4 hours then washed it off....didnt remove any white spirit for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arahan 4 Posted May 5, 2008 Aye, guess I shoulda known better! Maybe it was my choice of mayo...perhaps I should have gone the whole hog and gone for the absolute apex of mayo, Hellmans, instead of a pot of Tesco value stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerlewislewis 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Update: I poured a full kettle over each sticker, and then gently peeled them off, easy! The stick residue was not coming off for love nor money though. In the end a sprinkling of white spirit and the sticky stuff came off with one wipe of a cloth! All done! Ger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casanova 0 Posted May 13, 2008 Too late now obviously, but why not just apply the new ones over the top of the old ones? If they're exact replacements they should cover them up perfectly, and there's no better guide to get them exactly straight and in the right place than the original ones themselves! § Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
