Default sticky stuff
Hey guys. I want to remove the reflectors and the plastic thing under the passenger seat. Can anybody recomend a way to get all the sticky crap off without recking the paint? Thanks.

3M adhesive removal. Use ur wifes blow dryer to help peel off reflectors. The clear shield on ur fender should peel right off, it did leave a small spot on mine but I have the denim paint which has no clearcoat.

I used a hair dryer to ease the removal and then WD-40 with a soft cloth to get the goo off.Oh yea the reflector is still there in this pic,but is gone now.

I used a piece of fishing line, placed it behind the edge of the reflector and sawed of the reflector. then all that is left is the goo.

I use Kent Industries release agent #30125 “weather-strips, emblems” use a plastic spreader like a body filler spreader spray release agent on as it starts to come off spray more under part and keep going, usually part is not damaged and can be reused.
