14N Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Hi All, Bit of a stoopid 'how to' question, but thought I'd ask anyway in case anyone has any tips. I want to remove the round 'security' sticker that's on the outside of small the window behind the drivers door (behind your right shoulder when sat in the car), so I can display my 350Z-UK.com sticker in this space. It's stuck on with what appears to be industrial strength super glue. Anyone got any tips on how to remove stubborn decals? Will heat or anything else help? Cheers, Ian Quote
Luke0549 Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Picking at it for a very long time...... Quote
ChrisS Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Hair dryer then turps or white spirit. Tardis works as well. Quote
scubapics Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Use a razor blade or a spare stanley blade. Quote
ioneabee Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Use a razor blade or a spare stanley blade. don't do this - chances are you will scratch it (you might get lucky - but I wouldn't) Quote
OllyB Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Hot water, sponge and old credit card. Clean off any residue with meths/ipa. Quote
14N Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 Cheers guys. Few useful suggestions there Quote
OllyB Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Toffee hammer! That will defiantly remove the sticker, and you get rear quarter vents for free! Quote
14N Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 Toffee hammer! That will defiantly remove the sticker, and you get rear quarter vents for free! I'll have nowhere to put my new sticker though Quote
richmillions Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Toffee hammer! That will defiantly remove the sticker, and you get rear quarter vents for free! Rear quarter vents, surely that should be on the list of cheap mods Quote
DoogyRev Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 I would pick as much as you can off, then use turps or something as Chris suggested. It will break down the stickyness so you should be able to scrape the rest off with an old credit type card 1 Quote
14N Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Hi All, Just thought I'd add an update, as I finally got round to doing this today. All that's needed is about a 30 second blast from a hair dryer. The sticker then came straight off, without the need for any scraping, turps or toffee hammers. Didn't even leave any sticky residue. The longest part of the job was running the extension lead out the house for the hair dryer! Cheers, Ian Quote

Dblock Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Whats a hair dryer for drying armpit hair. Quote
14N Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Whats a hair dryer for drying armpit hair. I had to borrow my other halves hair dryer, as I don't have my own (hair dryer or hair) ! I think landing a 747, blindfolded would be simpler to use! There are: Speed settings.. Heat settings.... Cooling settings... Cold shot buttons... It also featured 'ionic conditioning technology' and a detatchable diffuser, and even a turbo button! Naturally I tried this, but it seemed to make no difference. I was only expecting an on/off button. 1 Quote
