Any1 had this prob before??
-
Dear all,
This morning woke up to find a Pizzahut flyer plastered to my bonnet. As there was a storm last nite, the flyer had sort of "dried off", and was very hard to remove. Even after i got most of the bits off, there is still a glue like layer on the bonnet, which no amount of wiping with a wet cloth can remove.
So, any1 has any idea how to remove it without scratching?? Mine is a black car, so its kinda obvious... haiz...
Thanks in advance.

er...maybe u 1 2 try this...i mean tear off 1st then use eraser to rub off those sticky part off...think may work for some items...not all...
-
Let me correct myself. It's actually not sticky anymore, more like *gasps* incorporated into the surface. Cant feel it when i move my hand over it, but can see the mark on it.
HELP! -
try lighter fluid. put a little bit on a piece of cloth and rub.

CFRP bonnets going cheap. Anyone?

try nail-polish remover. put a few drops on a cotton pad and wipe swiftly over the affected part. i had the same problem and it worked. dun leave the cotton pad on for too long though.Originally posted by sunnygal:

use car wax or use concentrated car shampoo without water....just pour over it, soak for a while, then rub like hell.....will prob come off
All these flyers ppl ah.....no brains one, waste $$, and give us extra hassle...

quite dangerous. the remover might eat through more lacquer than u want if u are not careful with it. once kena the paint itself, no turning back liao have to respray the whole bonnet.Originally posted by Newdriver:try nail-polish remover. put a few drops on a cotton pad and wipe swiftly over the affected part. i had the same problem and it worked. dun leave the cotton pad on for too long though.
safer bet to to send the bonnet for polishing using compond wax. the added abrasives will wear down the damaged lacquer (that makes the part look blur) to reveal undamaged ones underneath which are clear. -
DO NOT USE LIGHTER FLUID OR NAIL POLISH REMOVER!!!
take it to a car groomer who'll polish it out for you and then wax it. ask for a receipt, send it to pizza hut. -
Give the car a good wash, using car shampoo with those rough sided sponge, it will do the trick.Originally posted by sunnygal:So, any1 has any idea how to remove it without scratching?? Mine is a black car, so its kinda obvious... haiz...
If it still stay then you will have to polish the area with wax.
A more lazy way is to pay for a polishing service
A cheapo way is to wait for your next servicing to come then ask them to do it for you.

Here's an afterthought after reading your thread about such flyers.
You know, there are so much flyers these days flying around, I bet somebody could just pick one up, painted one side with super glue or the likes, and paste it on your car in the hope that you'd pick a bone with the advertiser - in this instance, Pizzahut.
Just a thought, but it can happen. -
lighter fluid? after that light a match and throw it at the spot and sure that paper burn off....Originally posted by dibilo:try lighter fluid. put a little bit on a piece of cloth and rub. -
If it doesn't work with the lighter fluid and fire, put some paint remover on it. It will then, remove everything clean off.
-
Thanks all for the numerous advice. Think i will just ask BlueSparkle to come and do it for me.
Just spend some $$$, otherwise I think I mite make things worse by over wiping...lol
Darn those flyers!!

harlow prae, that will leave hairline scratches on the bonnet lah. never use any abrasive substance other than polishing wax on ur paintwork.Originally posted by Praetorian111:Give the car a good wash, using car shampoo with those rough sided sponge, it will do the trick.

I am not refering to those dish washing one... tat one confirm will. I am refering to those for car washing ones. One big piece with double sides, it can actually use to remove this type of stains. Of course, must use with car shampoo if not it will be too rough for the surface.Originally posted by tailslide:harlow prae, that will leave hairline scratches on the bonnet lah. never use any abrasive substance other than polishing wax on ur paintwork. -
get a car polish and apply it over the spot and slowly rub it... it will come out after awhile.. if not use kerosine solvent to remove it... can buy them from petrol stations too...

you can try to remove it by methalnol spirit. but it may be quite hard to find. Hardware shop should have it.
