Best way to....

[Pete]

Remove the sticker things that run down the side of the car?
i was thinking using a heat gun and then a fudge wheel but will the heat gun not ruin my paint work?

[Nobby]

not if you dont get it to close mate thats the best way to be honest its a long had and **** job lol

[Pete]

i dont mind if it takes a while just for the pure fact i hate it lol
but how far away do you reckon i should have it? my heat gun is a draper 300-600 degrees C.
and should i use any paticular head on the heat gun? ive got one for removing paint off walls which is a flatish one, and one for joining pipes together...

fork knows mate what head lol just keep it about 10 inches from the car and keep moving it side to side so it gets more than just one spot you will know when you are to close lol

Toffee wheel ftw, no heat not much mess, and the little beads of rubber just brush off, should leave your paintwork smooth although I'd treat it to a polish/wax as the toffee wheel no doubt takes it off and under the stickers will be untreated anyway
