my stickers have come off the side of my 4runner with the help of a gernie after they got sctratched and torn.
Now there is an adhesive I can't get off. Can not get it to budge!
Any one got any ideas on how to get it off?

I dont know of a quick fix, other than application and rubbing like a biatch.
Perhaps put the stuff onto a drill buff and try that?

Try 'Shellite', heaps on a rag, hold it on to the sticky shiat for a bit to soak and then scrub like a bastard. That's the best stuff I've found for that sort of thing.
Cheers.
