jdcutty Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I started debadging the Cutty yesturday, got done with the driver side, no problems. Started on the passenger side today, and for the life of me I cannot get the sticky shit off of the door. I have used heat, regular goo gone, goo gone sticker remover, Bug and Tar remover, and WD-40. Nothing is working, I cant even scrape it off with wallpaper remover wrapped in a towel, after bieng heated and soaked with goo gone. Any suggested will help. It looks like crap right now, i need help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Mineral spirits should work. Even more heavy-duty would be lacquer thinner, but be sure to test a small area first. Lacquer thinner doesn't hurt factory paint, but it might hurt a repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Engine Brite or any engine degreaser. Make sure you have a chaser, so you don't damage the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomina34 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I suggest going to a local bodyshop supplier and getting a decal remover. It's just a giant eraser that mounts to a drill or air tool. Its perfectly safe for paint and doesnt require much elbow grease. Just make sure you dont exceed its speed rating or it will explode.

89SupremeCutty Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 PB Blaster, but it might eat the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 how long did you wait for the goo gone to penetrate? I bought some industrial stregnth stuff that was similiar to goo gone and it worked on removing the adhesive from the vinyl when I had the stripes on my Cutlass...although it was a long process that required lots of patience! goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 You could always wetsand it with 1500grit then 2000grit, being careful not to get the paint uneven or take the clearcoat off. Then use either claybar or polish compound, and wax. Polish/wax the whole door though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcutty Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I stopped into a local body shop and they tried mineral spirits and laquer thinner, and they suggested that i go home and use Finger Nail Polish remover cause it has acetone in it. This, along with some careful work of a razor blade, removed it. Thanks for the suggestions though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
