It's just a glue of some sort but is damned near everywhere. I'm respraying the car so am not too fussed about scratching it up somewhat.

thinners or prepsol n elbow grease

Thought as much... Just wondering if there were any tricks out there 😉

Was thinking general purpose thinners & scotch brite?!?!

Hi,
Xylene and GlueRid (Bunnings) have been mentioned in the past as well, along with elbow grease:thumb

I have found that turps works better than thinners as thinners tends to evaporate too quickly. Dab turps on liberally with a chux or other cloth a few times and leave for a couple of minutes, then rub off with cloth. After soaking it tends to roll up into balls relatively easily. I find that the problem with using power tools is that the glue tends to melt and smear every where rather than coming off.
