Try using some break rotor cleaner on the glue... also some elbow grease.

i wanna take my strips off, and goo gone might work for that glue, but i aslo too off all the stickers on my car (ie. the big ass celica on the side, ans the celica/gt-s on the back) and theres still some residue on the back that i cant get off even with goo gone and a hellalot of elbow grease. any ideas?

Yeah.. use a clay bar, some lube, and lots and lots of patience. It'll come off eventually... and it won't hurt your paint in the least.

I used the hair drier on the side moulding residue. Worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

I had the same problem as I peeled off my stickers (well i actually used a screwdriver which left some scratch marks but my repaint would get rid of that). i used degreaser to get off the sticky residue left behind by the stickers. it worked really good. (degreaser has a small amount of petrol in it, so you'll have to clean the area after you removed the sticky residue). hope that helps, jbone

u mean like hand degresser or dish washing stuff? nope, no dish washing stuff here the one i use is for cleaning engine and getting tough car grease and oil off stuff. the brand i use is import degreaser (i think that's wat it is called) how did you peel the stickers off jbone2322? I have trouble peeling mine off without the use of a screwdriver (argh, it leaves scratch marks). i dunno how else to get rid of 17 year old stickers

That's what I use to lift the corner.

Heat, heat, and heat. I haven't found an adhesive yet that can't be managed with a careful application of concentrated heat.

If you heat up those stickers you will be able to pull them off, yes it might be a little hard but it works. Mine without the GT-S and the Toyota, got those other stickers off the other day too.

Mine without the GT-S and the Toyota, got those other stickers off the other day too. thats exactly right heat is the answer here. i asked my dad how to remove stickers without a scratch (i shouldve asked earlier) and he said there is this device that you put against the car to heat up the sticker which then makes it easier to remove. i haven't tried this device yet though so i don't know how it is. i might use a hair dryer (assuming the heat is right) to see what happens 2moro. if that doesn't work i'll definately use that thing my dad told me about. ;D

What you need is a heat gun, it's a lot more intence than a hair dryer. You can get one at an automotive body paints retailer, they aint cheap, thats why most of us just use the hair dryer and wait. The only problem with a heat gun, is if you let it stay on one spot to long, you can damage the paint and any rubber or plastic peices nearby. racerb

I'm afraid to hit my paint with my heat gun. It's HOT. I use the combo of goo gone and a plastic scrapper. I haven't damaged any paint yet.
