General Removing sticky bits left by bump strips.

[mattmuirhead93]

I took the bump strips off my cars today. Good news is the paint hasn't faded underneath, bad news is they've left a horrible sticky residue. I've tried hot water and nail varnish remover but not luck, anyone got any tips that may help?

How about applying a little bit of heat from a hair dryer?

Heat them up with heat gun or you can get away with a hair dryer if in small space like garage and get a stanly scraper from b&q be very carful takes time to do it we'll then t-cut the small scratches. I done this with my old corsa but believe me it wasn't my best day with the car lol, looks good when done tho. Good luck post some pics when and if it gets done

Don't go anywhere near your car with a scraper mattmuirhead93 give the heat a try or I have known WD40 or some silicone spray to remove glue residue gives these both a try mate.

It's a window scraper it's hard plastic not metal wd40 does not work at all might as we'll use vodka or wine while you at it lmao

Hairdryer, WD40 and an old bank card or something similar.
Don't apply too much heat and take your time!
Using these worked well on my mk2b

ScottPunto - keep your wine for years in a cellar for years and when opening let it breathe before drinking and keep you vodka in the freezer and drink ice cold LMAO don't smear either all over your car much better drinking both.

SJB1985 lay off the vodka and wine with posts like that mate

Thanks a lot guys, real help, don't worry I won't be using any scrapers, I will use a combination of heat WD40 and swear words to get this done!

Large lumps need careful lifting, soft scraper as suggested, used with care.

For just glue residue, Auto Glym Tar and glue remover. Available at Halfords and hopefully other cheaper accessory shops.

Try it I mean mine was on corsa might use different adhesive to fiat but on the corsa just made it slippy and harder to Gett off but good luck won't harm trying it
