hey guys,
i took my factory snorkel off my gq and underneath was a pretty thick sticker that was a c*nt of thing to deal with..
anyways i got it off but there are still spots with the sticker goo left on it..
i dont know how to get it off without ****in the paintwork. and to be honest i havent tried anything yet just because i dont want to **** the paintwork.
normally i would use eucalyptus oil or nail ppolish remover but those options make me nervous!!

cheers for any advice

I've taken stuff off with citronella spray - it also does a cut and polish, so be sparing...

Try little bit of RID spray,

Bit of mower fuel on a rag will rip it off without harming the paint

yeh i had some 5.56 handy which is pretty much wd but that was no good..
ill try the eucalypt in the mornin and ill let ya know.

seriously.... stickers = biggest c()nt of a thing to deal with
look at the state of the sticker after 18 years of being covered by a snorkel

 

[dimmy101]

shellite(x55 solvent) works great

 

[CSAGQ]

the eucalyptus oil works, but dont think for a second it makes it easy.
honestly the sticker was NOT meant to come off argh drove me insane

 

[ITS A FORD NOT A NISSAN]

a crap load of elbow grease, or do what i did and sanded it back then polish it ,



well it worked on one side the other side i went to far and had to touch up the paint

 

[CSAGQ]

so glad i took it off tho,
motor performs better without that **** restricting stock snorkel.

caramel wheel, low revs, easy.

 

[sidewaysvc]

fly spray normally works the cheaper brands are better still need to scrub a bit but gets it off

 

[GUWorks]

try a product called "CLR" (Calcium Lime Rust) which is available from Bunnings.

I have also used WD40 in the past and a fair bit of elbow grease - Eucalyptus Oil is also worth a try.

 

[Oldmate]

Wax and Grease Remover. Get it from any auto paint store or autobarn, supercheap etc.

 

[tommo c]

X2 for wax and grease remover.

Works wonders
