rolla-87 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 guys, i really need some fu*k*ng help! i took of the two badges (Toyota) and (Corolla) and now they have left these glue marks. i have tried so much to get them off! i've been scrubbing at them for ages.... i tried metho, goo remover, grease remover... i even tried with car wax. either way, I'm screwed cos these stubborn marks aren't coming out. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.!

7shades Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 As a last resort, try acetone in SMALL amounts. Although by the looks of things, the glue has reacted with the paint over the years and stained it permanently... Quote
toyota_ae71 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 if all else fails, get some 2500 grit or finer sandpaper, then polish.... thats if it hasnt actually stained the paint as said above Quote

rolla-87 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Posted December 1, 2009 Citrus based products will remove it if its pliable. thanks guys, i reckon i might need to try the 2500 grit or finer sandpaper... but it does seem to have baked into the paint :D i don't think petrol is worth a try because metho would have been the same? and acetone.. wont that like burn stright through the paint?

irokin Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 Methylated spirits is essentially ethanol, petrols completely different. Unless you mean mineral turpentine which is just more refined petrol. Quote
