Heat gun, meths, hard scrubbing. Try and take as much of the sticky stuff off with the bumpstrip. Bitch of a job. lol

i hate this job.lol. i was picking it off and realised i wasnt doing very much. I then gave up and i was advised to use petrol and a heat gun. It worked well, but needs ALOT of hard rubbing and scrubbing.:thumb:
