Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has any tricks for removing the glue and hair that's used to attach the interior trim in the car. I dont want to use paint stripper as it will just create more work. Cheers Dave |

Hi, Yep, it's the glue that holds the trim on the dash board and around the wheel arches. Thanks Dave |

I've recently removed insulation from under a bonnet on a non-mini. Believe it or not, a stainless steel painters scraper is the best tool. I didn't like the idea when I was told it, but it did a great job. |

might sound weird, but eucalyptus oil is the best thing to get rid of glue. End up smelling like a koala tho. |

I use Shell Toluol/toluene and that takes off the softer stuff. Where it has gone rock-hard, I use a 2" Scotchbrite pad on my small air die grinder. Done gentley, it does no harm to the paint. Regards Al |

Turps will dissolve it, not as fast as koala farts(eucalyptus oil) however. |

Ive used 3M Contact Adhesive Remover in an aerosol can. Not sure how it would go on old glue, but when I was doing my interior with fresh contact adhesive it came in very handy. |

The solvents will get through it, have to keep it wet with the stuff while it works. I removed some after 8 years around my rear window. |
