sticky

My disco 300 tdi ES had these horrid "discovery" stickers along the door bottoms and lower wings, I got the stickers off easily but the sticky residue I just cant shift. I have tried white spirit, some autoglym tar remover and petrol without success. Does anybody have any suggestions to what I can use to get this stuff off my paintwork?

thanks

Dave

white spirit , dont use thinners, incase its been painted b4 ,it will fetch the paint off. or panel wipe as used in the bodyshop trade.

removed a whole vans worth of signwriting with thinners no problem

gunk do a sticky stuff spray for tar and sticker glue ( it works )

Halfords do "sticky stuff remover"

IPA (Isopropanol, Isopropal Alcohol) will remove any sticky stuff. It's an industrial solvent and also used for.making biodiesel. You can get it on eBay or from a few chemical suppliers online or if you are anywhere near Fife in Scotland I can give you some. Failing that panel wipe from any car paint place should work but might need a bit more effort.

Remember to wax the area after using any solvent as you will remove any protection from the paint

Try WD-40 mate, it can remove sticky residue and you will probably have some anyway.

I use petrol or white spirits then I polish with G3 compound. Comes up as good as new

Thanks guys for the advice, I have tried everything suggested and the only thing that sort of works is thinners and scraping with and old credit card. It will come off but its a bit laborious.

Pity land rover didnt use the glue they put the stickers on with to hold the boot floor together!!
