If your talking about the gluey stuff then..
I did this ...

Heated with hairdryer - not for too long though just couple of secs...

Rubbed in some wihite spirits with 1 rag - as you do this it sometimes sticks to the cloth...

Rubbed down with a diff cloth - to remove any bits...

Rubbed in some car polish to clean up the line marks...

Then rubbed off nearly straight after with a diff cloth...

By then your car should go from what you see on the LEFT of the picture to what you see on the RIGHT.

Np ...

The best advice i could give you on this is keep at it...

I spent ages taking all the glue off mine and i just wanted to give up...

Good luck

Does the same with a hairdryer..

Only difference is with a heat gun you have to be more carefull because you could ruin your paint work...

So i would recommend a hairdryer.

?10 for a caramal wheel, in a drill, have it off in seconds Its taken a while, but now no one laughs when a fudge wheel is mentioned. I got ALL the glue off mine in half an hour using no elbow grease whatsoever.

my whole sri took about 1 hr with a heat gun, thats vinyl off rear quarters, doors, under door and front wings.

Its an old wives tail of heat gun damaging paint, unless your a complete and utter retard and hold the heat gun on the same spot for literally a minute or more it wont hurt the paint.
