Removing A Canary

[GTAAAH]

Yeh so i got canaried a while ago for having "racing slicks" on my car (were in fact SPMAXX's, slightly low on tread but still legal) Got that cleared, now the fugn canary won't come off. Ive got the majority of the paper off, but the underlying sticky stuff (sticky paper) and the glue stuff wont come off.. Ive tried, petrol, metho, scraping, nail polish remover and eucalyptus oil and besides getting high, had no success.

Any one got any other suggestions on how to remove it?

I was thinking of paying the $ to get it professionally cleaned and forwarding the bill to the victorian police or vicroads, any one reckon this could work?

use a razor/stanley knife blade to remove the majority of the sticker and some eucalyptus oil to remove the residue.

If you can find it (not sure what shops to buy it, we have it at work) but 3M have a product called Goo remover it's in a red can, it's the shit for removing anything sticky from anything

As for forwarding the bill to vicroads no I doubt it will work but it's worth a try

Also that fat dude big kev had a goo remover thats good. theres a couple of options you can use.

* Brakkeklean by CRC will remove almost anything (good tip : this gets almost any car related stain from clothing, grease, oil and brake fluid).

* Citrus Oil Spray : the cleaning power of citric acid is amazing.

* Prepsol or Tryco fluid - these solvents work a treat.

There ya have it. I would be trying Brakkeklean 1st.

try some wd40 if you have it lying around, breaks down alot of sticky shit.

if you soak the back of it for 5-10mins it will come off.

Get a sponge, wet it, press it against the sticker.

Do this probably 5-6 times as the water will run out of the sponge... warm water also helps.

And then it will just peel off, and the glue should just wipe off aswell

the way we used to get service stickers etc off is with a razor blade to get most of it off (it doesn't scratch the glass) and then rub it with eucalyptus oil to get rid of the stickyness

metho also works, soak a cloth or some thing in metho, leave it over the sticker for 15 minutes, then it should just come off

as mentioned already get a razor blade and scrape most of it off. With any remaining stuff use prepsol it works wonders

ahh ok did the water method with a cloth for like 10 minutes (first time i tried left it only like 1 minute), now alll i got is a sticky residue and a couple of little bits of paper, will try some wd40 to get thar crap off

Err and are big kev products still around now? He died of a heartattack a few years back

go for the euco oil and razor method,

i used it to get off the importing stickers and other shit when i first got my car. it worked perfectly
