Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted October 13, 2011 how do you remove these ? is it the same as removing a tank protector with a air dryer ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrach86 0 Posted October 13, 2011 you may find that they are laquered over, so you cant remove em, without taking the laquer off. However i may be wrong, try the hair dryer trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madcarper 0 Posted October 13, 2011 your local car paint supplier/ motor factor will sell you a caramel wheel, which is a rubber disc you put into a cordless drill. we use them all the time at work for taking of decals and glue residue left after you remove body mouldings. be carefull not to go to fast or put too much pressure on it or you could heat up and bubble or pull of the paint.

gavlar1200 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Use a hair dryer to warm it up, peel it off then use nail polish remover sparingly to get the sticky stuff off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fr499y 0 Posted October 14, 2011 i personally wouldn't use a hair dryer as the paint on the new suzuki's isn't exactly thick and could bubble up too easily! just pick at it and use label remover =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flange 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Same as a tank pad Dave If i remember u took one of off the 12 not long ago.I think these tend to crumble a bit more rather than come off in one or 2 bits though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jezza 0 Posted October 14, 2011 Boiling water on the sticker to soften it and it will then pull off,leaving just the gunky residue to remove which can be done with spirit or petrol on a rag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
