How to get the glue off...

[EvanH]

I just took all of the red and black rubber (or whatever) siding off of my XJ. Now I have the white glue or w/e the hell it is in some spots and I was wondering what I could use to remove it.

Thanks.

Laquer thinner or prep-sol will remove it. Use in well ventilated area.

GooGone

I tried this on the wife's DD, and nothing worked. I ended up using an abrasive disk and taking it to bare metal. Luckily it was black so I just sprayed it with black primer and it blended it well.

The thing that worked the best was 3M adhesive remover spray....but it still didn't do the job!

I used a sfuff wheel on a drill. Then I used one of the small heriliner kits and repainted. Works great and looks good also

I'/ve found that Zippo fluid works FAAR better than Goo Gone.

I'd be careful with the laqure thinner, just in case...

3M Adhesive Remover. I used it for the exact same purpose and it worked great.

works just like an eraser.

Thanks a lot for the tips! I'll try these things tomorrow. I wasn't gonna take the shit off at first, but for some reason they all started falling off at once. I like the look of it better though.

Sand and repaint if all else fails.

Yeah, I was already planning that. I ride a lot of tight quad trails and my XJ gets pretty scratched up. I am thinking about just going white.

We call that Butane............:looser:

Butane and Zippo fluid are not the same.

Hopefully have the gunk off by now but it seems like evertime I can't find the right solvent Gasolene works. Nasty smelly harmfull stuff but it cuts a lot of crap.

zippo fluid is usually naptha.
and it works well.

Different. The Butane is for the gas lighters, not the traditional luquid fuel Zippos.

I don't know anything about Butane.

What the hell would you know about gassous substances ended in "ane"?!
