removing bodge tape sticky
brynhamlet - 8/3/08 at 05:07 PM

With my old bonnet having watched it disapear over my head I've been using bodge tape to make sure it stays put.

I've got a new bonnet to fit with better catches to fit, but want to get all the bodge tape stains of the nose cone and scuttle.
Can anybody tell me the best way to do it

tar and glue remover
pop to a locail body shop with a packit off biscets and a smile or even halfords may sell it

Mr Sheen is good for that, let it stay on for a few minutes before rubbing off. or maybe Meths.

WD 40 is good for removing most sticky substances such as glue tar etc.

Hi now theres ^^^ a man who has obviously raced a car and had to get the usual gaffer tape of.

Seconded acetone or the wife/girlfriends nail polish remover. Works a treat on GRP.
