this was a pain in the backside when i tried to remove mine lol

spent ages trying to heat/rub it off..but i found that cellulose thinner was best. It wiped the gunk off like there was nothing there, but if its been recently sprayed, or used a spray can to patch up, i wouldnt use it cause it strips the paint lol

Quite a few people have used this but a lot have said that it will strip your paint if left long enough.

it doesnt need to be left? just dab a cloth in it so theres a lil bit on it and then rub it over the sticky stuff. it only stripped a lil bit my paint cause i sprayed (with a spray can) the door like a week before, and i had too much on the cloth. i would definately recommend it tho. Plus, heat works too, if you can be arsed doing that.

I used petrol, soaked a cloth in it then rubbed it over the sticky crap, let it soak in then start peeling with ur fingers!

Got a nice blister on my thumb from doing it tho!
