I saw something at OSH last week and there is a certain remover that can take out sticker, stains and other stuff that doesn't hurt the paint.

Looks very nice!!


BTW you can remove that sticky residue by spraying a little WD40 on a paper towel, and buffing it away on the car. Works like a charm

Goo-Gone (clear orangy-coloured fluid) has done wonders for me and sticker goop.

Very nice but I gotta gripe about that last pic. Is it just me or are the plastic pieces kinda...leaning? They don't look straight. Sorry if thats just the picture but i'm a real stickler for level parts.

I use 70% rubbing alcohol to remove the sticker residue. It works fine for me.
