Try a product called De-Solve It. It is a citrus smelling product which will actually desolve the sticker. I doubt it would damage your paint, but it would probably be worth checking first.

That's what I was on about!! De-solve it. Works well on sticky crap.

Ive tried that, sticky and smelly and prepsol still works better than it, plastic razor blade FTW

possiably try a hardware store for a plastic razor

Hi guys, this is the story i dont like the stickers they came with the car. Its a clear sticker looks like a expensive one, each corner is so tight its not funny. I've used.

Heatgun, wax & grease remover, and turps nothing works.

Nothing has happened to the paint yet but im not got to respray a whole guard over one sticker. There has to be a product on the market which can eat this away. No way can it come off like a normal sticker.

I've added the picture cause now, ive made it look like shit lol and need to take it off completly.

Please let me know anything, but im not using anything that could harm my paint. and please only tell me on your experience not just a theory you heard off someone lol.

Anyway i hope you guys can help me out. Thanks :wave:

go to a auto paint shop (dont go to supercheap or autobarn) ask them for a "caramal wheel" i got rid or stickers off the side of my last car in about 20 mins, a sticker that size should come off in about 1-2 min.

its a softrubber wheel that you attach to your drill so when u runn the wheel over your sticker it peels of the plastic coat and glue without marking the painted surface.

cost about 15 buck and is very effective.

good luck

Yeah man cut and polish should fix that easy, but try using some of those little 'magic eraser' sponges from a hardware show/supermarket first they are like a solid white foam block which get rid of glue residue pretty easy and wont screw up your paint.

Good luck :D

get something like this.

http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/a...ler/output_html

i use these heaps to get off old double sided tape or old stickers 10-20 years old.

just use it on a drill.

its rubbery/plastic, and it wont affect your paint, just dont sit it on the same spot for 20 minutes heh

you can definately get them from most sign places like "supply 1" at morningside. i cant seem to find it on their website though.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
