people say white spirit will damage your paint work but i used it anyway and had no problems, took the glue off a treat!
- put some white spirit on a cloth
- rub the cloth on the glue sereral times
- use the old car to scrape off the loose glue
repeat this process until all glue has gone.
make sure you give a quick wash with water to remove any leftover white spirit.

i just done mine... i found t-cut was poo tbh...
best way i found was to pour boilling water over the glue to warm the actually bodywork...
then rub the shizzle out of it with your fingers/hands... wen you reach the bone like i have stop and change finger lol..
