previous owner glued on side skirts

[pauliac]

my 98 has the SVO side exit kit with the side skirts, but the previous owner used some kind of nasty glue to adhere them to the body.

Of course, the glue did not hold, and it left nasty crap all over the paint.

How can I get that crap off without damaging my paint?

Here's a pic, sorry for the poor quality, it was taken 2 minutes ago in the garage.

my suggestion would be to try Goo Gone, and/or an emblem remover.



if that doesnt work, just give it the good old turpentine fix

turpentine would hurt my paint though I imagine.
I'll try goo gone, but I have a feeling that wont work well, it's stuck on pretty good.

obviously you didnt realize i was joking about the turpentine:dw:

Heat and a plastic putty knife, Use enough heat to melt the glue but not too much where it hurts the paint

Regardless of what method you use I wold imagine the skirts will likly need some paint when you are done. +1 on the heat gun and scraper.
