i just pulled OEM skirts off of an S13, they were still held on with the glue they used from factory, it’s hard as a rock and is still on the car… anyone have a good method to remove this glue? it looks like it will be an awful job.

the paint on the car is in pretty good shape so i want to avoid damaging it at all.

thanks.

Goo Gone? That stuff has never let me down. Is the glue sticky still? or is it hard and cured?

eraser body shops use a big circular eraser like disc it pulls up the thick tape and keeps the paint from scratching

it’s hard and cured… i can’t even pick any bits of it off, it’s ridiculous.

i don’t even know what a rubber wheel is, let alone where to get one or how to use it, lol

i don’t really want to buy any equipment, i’m looking to do this between the price of free and pocket change.
