emblems...fishing line will work, just pull it between it and the car and will cut through the glue (wear gloves, will cut the hands), then can use a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove the excess glue

the rubbing alcohol wont ruin the paint will it???? i will be posting before and after picz will most likely be doing this 2marrow....

MINERAL SPIRITS. Then rinse when all the marks are gone. If you want try compounding with some 3m triple cut or something on the stubborn pieces, and then wax. The mineral spirits will remove anything airborne and waterborne so make sure you wash the car first before you go rubbing it.

at our dealership we use all sol to take off tsicky residue from the tape. its pretty much varsol

Go to any bodyshop supply store or a wallpaper store and get a product called TUMBLER. It donesn't harm any paint surface or cause discolour. Apply it to a paper towel then rub the glue off really good. Works perfect, I use it at my bodyshop all the time and haven't had any bad results. Professionally used and tested. There's your answer. Let me know if you need anything else.

sticky stuff is no problem, getting the sticker off first is the hard part

imported_InfamousCivic

10x better.

nice job on removing that type r sticker. you just added a nice clean classy look to your ride.

next up, ditch the altezzas for the red/white 99-00 ek tails, and you are set

nice ride btw. (my daily driver is an ek with an el front end conversion)

heat guns are better than blow driers

sirhondalot

but blow dryers are more accessible and chaper
