    Blotches of stikaflex which is near enough impossible to remove without damaging the paint, in which case a costly respray would be needed. You can use fishing wire to remove the strips and a decent amount of the stikaflex then white spirt and tcut.

    I'm sure Petrol can be used to remove the stikaflex so long as the car is washed and polished immediately after!

    i took mine off, end of last year, was outside for ages with a heat gun, sharpe razor and white spirit, oh a steady hand! did a top job if i do say so but a tiny bit wouldnt come off and took the paint off to the bare metal, but some primer and paint soon fixed that, but u can see where it happened tho!
