Tried white spirit and acetone, not really doing much. Any suggestions?

petrol?

brake and clutch cleaner?

IPA, not the beer.

hot air gun and a scraper

WD40

Sticky Stuff Remover? It’s citrus based I think.

Petrol

Glue and tar remover

Petrol

As above Wd 40

cooking oil

Trying WD40 now…. not doing a lot but we’ll see. May have to get the heat gun out (I didn’t remove the stickers in the first place).

cellulose thinners

IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)

Works perfectly.

Pull the stickers off first otherwise you are fighting a losing battle

Tar remover that you use on cars. Sorted all my sticky stuff on metal problems.

Isopropanol doesn’t work on all adhesives, I’ve found more than a few stickers that it would only soften and smear the sticky goo. Cellulose thinners or acetone are good options, as is a solvent we use at work on the print machines, called hard ink remover. Trouble with that is, it’ll attack many plastics, and its flashpoint is very low; I’ve had a cloth covered with ice trying to clean stubborn adhesive off a folding machine in humid warm weather!

Brasso works a treat!

Eucalyptus oil, then thinners to remove the stench.

Ronson lighter fluid.

Try hairdryer/heatgun first to soften the glue then IPA/meths to finish it off.

Margarine…..seriously

Thinners or a decent citrus based adhesive remover (3m do it in spray form – its very effective)

Cooking oil or margarine, as stated above.

Just spent ages trying to get the horrible residue off some parts and tried margarine.

Came off in two seconds.

Great tip.

turps works for me.

doesn’t seem like it to start, but a few more rubs and it comes off a treat.

nail polish remover is the best

Cheap aftershave.

this works for me
