Had a quick look and can't find anything. Wats the best way to remove glue. I had some mini cooper stickers on my sprite that I removed. Some came off fine bt some hav glue marks I can't seem to shift. Can I buy a solution to remove it that doesn't damage paint. Any help be great

you can use petrol to remove glue, or you can get tar and glue remover from most car accessory shops.

Caramel wheel, removes sticky residue from paint without removing paint and smells AWESOME! attach to drill and buff off glue, enjoy the smell, job done.

Exactly what I was going to suggest, although I know of them as candy wheels.

We used WD40 to get the glue off the headlining - works a treat.

I took the stripes off my cooper, and other stickers of my peugeot with a hairdrier. It warms the glue up and usually peels right off with the glue, if theres any glue still stuck on i use the tiniest bit of nail polish remover (not mine...!) and a cloth. It'll take seconds, but dont use too much! Then polish the area back up, easy =)
