Matt_Matt Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi allWas wondering if anyone has had issues with removing the rubbing strips? im expecting the doors and pannels will need a good clean and probably a bit of t-cut and polish once removed. If it turns out there are marks i can always get some vinal to cover the mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunsprules Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I wouldt use t-cut, and heat it up so the glue melts slightly and use a ice scrapper to get it off.Normally works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waller11 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 its will be fine inless someone has resprayed your can with them on and you have a line of raised paint, like mine for instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 its will be fine inless someone has resprayed your can with them on and you have a line of raised paint, like mine for instance yes, really look out for any respray work. if you can see a slight patch of rougher or a different shade then chances are its not been done properly and removing your strips would make things worse.

LowAndSlowRyan Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Use tar and glue remover it's only about £5 an it works perfectly then just polish it afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north wales loop Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 heat the rub strip up to melt the glue then use dental floss to get behind the strip and gently peel them off.(would not use an ice scraper) and hope the car has not been re-sprayed.then spend 5 hours with tar remover getting the sticky crap off. good luck and keep at it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
