Zee Posted March 2, 2009 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
P15UL T Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 hair dryer to get the outer sticker off then some tcut for the excess glue ?? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I suggest patience and a hairdryer, be careful not to burn your fingers tho. Quote
Stew Posted March 2, 2009 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
Renegade Posted March 3, 2009 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
Chris`I Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Hairdryer, followed by glass polish or nail polish remover for the residue Quote
Andy Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Stanley Knife blade, 30 second job, just keep the blade as flush to the glass as possible. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 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...) Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 If tht's the case, why not just cut a lemon in half and rub that? Quote
M13KYF Posted March 3, 2009 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
3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 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

Will try it on mine on the weekend and put up a how too if it works! Would it help if the user concentrated very hard on the task at hand? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 3, 2009 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....

Kennydies Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 especially on windows I use a razor blade, comes off easily.. Quote

I GOT IT!!!!! Lets just et Uri Geller to concentrate on it........but he might bend your whole car in the process...... Quote

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
BulletMagnet Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 hmmm......mental-bent instead of mandrel-bent.....I see where your coming from.... Quote

Zee Posted March 4, 2009 Author 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
Lou-Lou Posted March 4, 2009 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
Zedrush Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 white spirit or failing that a hammer and chisel Quote
M350ZB Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 failing that a hammer and chisel gotta love it Quote
R800NER Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I am going to do mine this weekend, I will try glass cleaner first, then hairdryer....hopefully I won't set light to the car! Quote
