Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
How can I get the fake carbon fibre wrap off the rear 'C' panels on the Merc? It looks like crap as it's bubbled in places and is peely and I want it gone. I started picking at it and got precisely nowhere, used a blunt knife, zero reward.

Hot Hot water first, pour it on the bubbles and see if they grow ?
Phone somebody that fits it and ask how much, then ask how they do it and maybe do that yourself.
"What not to do when removing a vinyl car wrap
Don’t remove your car wrap when it’s cold out, in direct sunlight, or during other adverse weather conditions. Not only will this make you miserable, but it’ll also complicate the removal process unnecessarily."

Or Youtube, no YouTube advice ever goes wrong... Does it?

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
When we used to deletter vans it was just a time consuming manual process. Warm it with a hair dryer, nice hot sunny day will make it easier as the vinyl will stretch and come off rather than peel in bits. You can buy proper residue remover to get the remaining glue off the paint

That's my old flat in the background! Do you have a link to the advert?FatherJack wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 10:50 am Ok, its an American vehicle imported from Japan so there are many influences at play here.
What the hell is the thing on the front bumper supposed to be doing ?
How did it pass an MOT ?
Just for giggles, the seller runs some Eco related company and has this to run about in.

I know of the company but I can't say that I've ever seen the Jeep driving around.
