Hi,

My car has mini cooper logo's and stripes down the side, I want to remove them all and replace them as they've seen better days. I've had a bit of success picking at the stripes with my fnger nail however the cooper logo's are really hard to get under and seem practically impossible to remove. Was wondering if there is a better method of removing them without damaging the paintwork?

Cheers.

hair drier

Yeah heat them up, and then try and find some sticky-stuff remover (i forget the technical name :erm: ) Someone told me WD-40 works

on windows i used a paint stripper (but watch where u aim it) and petrol, petrol is wicked but make sure u wipe if off properly.

Dont go splashing any of that all over it!

Use a hair dryer on a low heat, hold it about 15cm away from the car and just waft over the sticker... then use something like an old credid card to get the edge up and pull it off.

Make sure u dont heat it too much as it wont take much to burn the nice shiny paint.

Any residue left behind should be wiped off with standard thinners and then polished after.

Besy way I found of de-stickering firms vans convered in vinyl stickers.

Right

Hair dryer or Heat gun (low heat) then a scraper of some sort and wait for it - Tanning lotion!!!! :saywhat: Works a treat!

once removed go over the area with t-cut

helps remove the left over glue
and blend in the paint work
