howdy,

does anyone know how to remove adhesive off the bodywork of the car without damaging the surface.

i bought a 323 ci but the previous owner had put the ///m badge on the rear of the car which looks a bit silly as it is a 323, anyway whilst i was washing it yesterday the badge was practically hanging off so i decided to pull it, now im left with a big blob on the rear of the car, i have heard that nail polish remover works,
is this true? :confused:

Youve got many options,
The ideal way is to purchase autoglym tar and adhesive remover or an equivalant.
If not turps substitute will take it off but make sure u wash after and polish area to be safe.
Infact always polish after.

ive used both with excellent results

hope this helps

I think they remove the bagde with heating it so it would be easier I THINK to heat it then remove it ,just a thought

Just use a hairdryer to heat the glue up then rub it off with your finger. Works everytime.
