    Hi Looking for help please,

    The vinyl on the B pillar has cracked and peeled on my car due to exposure to the elements.

    I have removed what I can of the damaged vinyl to expose undamaged paintwork which is the original colour of the car.

    Unfortunately when the vinyl is removed it leaves behind glue like substance on the paintwork.

    How can I remove this without damaging the paintwork.?

    Many thanks in advance.:)

    I did this just last week to the Toledo
    Heat gun/Hair dryer. Helps get off the vinyl

    To remove the glue you can use Tardis tar remover.
    Or
    Petrol > Wash paint and rub some polish on afterwards.
    You can go to your local Auto Factor or Halfords and get some Tar/Glue remover.
