On a day like today, just park it in the sun they shoud peel off easily once they warm up. I'd be loath to use even a plastic scraper (credit card), just peel em. On the glass you can use a razor or stanley knife blade though.

Being a former valeter & as said above,DONT use anything other than ya nail on paint or you will score,scratch or remove the lacker & paint.!

Just heat with a decent hair dryer or heat gun ( NOT TO CLOSE ) or the paint will lift !

Just patience is needed after that

Good luck

Auto Glym or Meguires have the best off the shelf "Back t Blacks" which ya should b able t get from Halfords or most motor accessorie shops. WD40 is a fast cheap way of blacking plastic but not the best as dirt will stick to it.
Shoe polish can work but not the best.

I agree with Adz (bitter experience) use a hair drier. They usually run cooler than a heat gun so the gentle warming will soften the adhesive

Well , As well as fitting kitchen cupboard doors and doing tech support and selling xboxes on egay , I polished the door and the rear panel under the swage line.

Bloody Tar/Overspray/Welding Splatter/Stickers



I will continue to do some tommorow weather permitting.

For the wheel arches get your hands on some smooth pea nut butter, warm it up first by placing the jar in a tub of hot water then rub it into the archesyou might have to do it twich depending on how gray they've gone. Leave it on for 20 mins then buff it off & you'll have nice black mat/satin arches againbelive me it works & the best bit is it's dirt cheap & a jar will prob last the time you have the motor

Thats a handy 1 t remember "pea nut butter"

I'll definatly try when the colour coding eventually flakes off
& on any cars etc that i do in the future
