you can also use a heat gun, but becareful you dnt burn the paint, your need panel wipe for the glue,

[rustys_rocco]

its used by painters normally for wiping down panels and getting all the crap off the panels before paint is applied...

Best tip, do it in the summer when it's b**tard hot, with a hairdryer. Mine still came off in small chunks, but was well worth it :)

i think i used sticky stuff remover in the end to get the last bits of glue residue off.

i agree wait till summer, did one side of mine in the day, not much lue left to t-cut off, did the second side one evening different storey. Would suggest using a heat gun/hairdryer, once the vinyl has a raised edge i kept the heat on the attached edge and slowly peeled it back, you need more heat than you think, will take about 1.5 hours per side to remove the vinyl, you'll end up with very sensitve fingers by the end cos of the heat lol

oh top tip, to get the vinyl from under the window rubbers use the rounded edge of a small spoon to slowly and carefully scrap it off, good look, have a look at my build thread on SciroccoUK "white scala" abou page 6 i think :)
