Sticky stuff remover

Post by **NafemanNathan** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 1:58 pm

I'm looking to get some "sticky stuff remover" to remove the adhesive gum/glue from the edge of my doors since I've removed the door edge strips, and something like this would do I think, but I fancy getting it sooner than that delivery guarantees, so does anyone know of any common outlet stores that would sell such a thing?

Also, if anyone knows of any such stuff that's safe to use on the dash I'd be interested to hear about that as well

... And no, I didn't turd on my dash!

Glad you didn't poo on your dash. Try going to any paint place and grab a 5l tin of Panel Wipe. Will remove the stickyness and has a million other uses too. I usually get the Tetrosyl stuff.

Staples (office supplies) usually stocks this stuff.

Try WD40.

Petrol & White Spirit works too.

Or there is Autoglym's Tar & Glue remover.

Or Autosmart Tardis - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=Autosmart+Tardis

Most of these are likely to leave a white staining on the dash, other than WD40. So for the dash i'd probably try the WD40 and work it in with something like a tooth brush and then wash down with fairy liquid to get rid of the grease.

For the body work, apply T&G remover, work in with a microfibre cloth and don't forget to wash down the area and slap on some wax when you have finished, as the T&G remover will remove any paint protection.

Cheers boys. I might try our Maplins store then, although they never seem to have a lot of things they list on their website. If not, then I'll try Wickes & B&Q.

Cheers Shiny, I'll try the WD-40 on the dash first (How would Tool Station's own brand penetrating oil fair?)

Covering the ass seems a priority here

WD-40, great for cleaning and soaking contact lenses.

Why not soak a cotton bud in WD-40 and give those ears a good old clean?!

WD-40, are your teeth white enough NOT to use it?!
