You need a rubber wheel or similar look at tool station. The foam stops any chemical from working so not worth it


Many Thks, rubber wheel ordered and some colour compound to clean the paintwork once all the glue is off

This is what I ordered , hopefully it’s the right bits , made sure I didn’t order any aggressive cutting compounds

Please see what u think Thumbs Up

The paint on these discos is quite hardwearing.

I wouldn't immediately rule out using white spirit (even though I'd put in nowhere near my paintwork). Confused
But as it's his recommendation, I'd ask Coo to do a paintwork test on his D3 for you.

What about Autoglym tar remover. Here’s what it says on their page:
Q: Can Intensive Tar Remover be used to remove glue residue from my bodywork?
A: Yes, Intensive Tar Remover is also great for breaking down any glue residue on your bodywork. Simply apply Intensive Tar Remover to the affected area and allow to dwell for a few moments. The glue should begin to break down and finish by gently wiping the area with a Hi-Tech Microfibre.
Whatever is left you’ll have for future car cleaning.
Cheers

You'd be ok using petrol to dissolve the glue. Cars paint often gets covered in petrol and it never harms the paintwork but would have that adhesive off in no time. Wink

Thanks

This was the image I got sent to me when I had my car gutted inside and out by a very experienced detailer.
That was back in March, the seats had been cleaned by myself, Autoglym leather care etc but it shows how well a professional can bring up what was 14 year old seats.

He was impressed at how the interior was wearing the years and miles. It had 188,820 at that picture.
It’s now at 194,760 Laughing

Forget the rubber wheel they do damage the paint.
Use a hair dryer to warm it up and then justrub/roll it with your fingers to get worst off then give a good polish 5/10 minutes would see that done easily.
Alternativley you can use WD40 works really well but make sure you clean it off afterwards and also polish

DELAYED RE-ACTION Laughing

I think you’ll find this job is already completed a couple of weeks ago IIRC.

Oh and the rubber wheel works perfectly well probably as long as you’re no novice with tools and you take it gently gently as I did with mine and not a mark (also as per the OP) though heating does help also. Thumbs Up
