Hi there.

and now i still have the adhesive stuck to the truck & hood of my car. does anyone know the easiest way to get the crap off of body?

Cheers

Cheers

try acetone...but DO NOT leave it on there for more than a few seconds at a time. (and use pure acetone...not nail polish remover)
just try it out to see if the glue goes "slippery" with the solvent...if it does...you got the right solvent

if it doesn't...try Varsol next.

Methyl Ethyl Keytone!!!

And enhale it as much as possible!!!

**Skuce** · 05-11-2005, 12:11 AM

bah! Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide is better!

**WRC_VERNA** · 05-11-2005, 12:11 AM

hair dryer, cloth, and arm power if you want to keep it simple
