Bump strip adhesive removal

[monzajake]

As above really.
Removed the strips but need to clean the adhesive of the panel before re-fitting.
Which is the way forward guys ?

Toffee wheel on a drill + elbow grease + Scratch-X or similar.

tofee wheel is best but be careful not to burn the paint. but if you have some white spirit or panael wipe dapen a cloth with it (not soaking just damp) and leave over the area for 5 mins then wipe the glue gunge off with a clean rag.

Think i'll go with essextom's method.. Not risking the paint..

Cheers guys

When removing the adhesive that holds the underbonnet soundproofing in place, as an alternative to white spirits, I ended up buying this stuff from Screwfix, which worked a treat …



Out of interest what technique/materials did you employ to get the bump strips off?

When i removed mine on the replacement door, i used the otherhalfs heat gun (hair dryer) to warm the glu up, then once the end was lifted i directed the heat under and slowly lifted and worked down the door, it removed most og the glue as well.

The front half of the trim was hanging off. i guess due to laying around.
Just gave it a light tug and it fell off in my hands.
I might give that stuff ago chap.

diesel normally does the job nicely. you will obviously need to de-grease the panel afterwards

[essextom]

let me know how you get on. removing mine next weekend. bit worried about the fresh paint under the strips in relation to my faded old red!

[monzajake]

Went really well matey.
I used white spirit in the end. Soaked it on then gave it a rub with a dampened cloth again in white spirit.

Tiger seal has done the job blinking well but really a extra pair of hands when re-fitting the arches would of come in handy!
