Hi there, anybody help me out, i'm wanting to know how to remove the rub strips and badges and will this do any damage and need re sprayed? as i dont have the money for a re spray if i mess this up? i've got tar remover and t-cut but not sure what to actually do to take strips/badges off apart from just pulling them off? please help a noob at mods

lol...use a old free crdiet card or sumin similar then kinda just swa it under the strips and it cuts through the rubber tar sponge material and leaves the main gunk on the car that u use tar remover etc on. as long as u dont pull the strips away to fast or at a horrid angle to the door all should be fine. only heard of one guy rippin paint off in the process out of every1 that done em on here

Ive just done the same to my car. used a credit card to get underneath the strips then pulled it off. from there i was just scrapping the glue off it took about 2 weekends to get the crap off. Then i used metholated spirit (Purple Colour) to get the last bits off

i did all mine in one evening then finished it off the next day cos i left it to late into the evening b4 i started! cant be drvin round with run srtip glue on the car...looks worse than the rubstrips!! just use boiling water from the kettle to heat up the rubber then a pair of thick rubber gloves and non-scratch kitchen scourer

Thanks alot for your advice lads a got the strips off no probs but the glue is a royal pain in the ass lol been at it almost an hour and a half n looks as if i've gt a few more hours ahead with it

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! Heat them up with a hair dryer or heat gun they peel straight off when you have done that let it cool down and use alot of elbow grease andd t-cut or metholated spirits to get the glue off i know someone who used a credit card and you should of seen the state of it

the crdit card is just to get the strips off...not the glues itself. heat the glue up sufficiently and it just peels away!

well the rubstrips were already off mine when i got it..but they left the glue down one side..so i just used t-cut and got a new swipe card from tesco and it worked a treat..just worked the t-cut with a cloth then sort of scraped it with the card.took me half hour most.

boil the kettle until it warm not boiling softens the adhesive they use i done it when i de badged the rear of mine rubbed away with finger afterwards
