with all sorts of thinners, be careful not to rub too hard or you can smear the laquer, then it doesnt look quite as good.

i used some really good glue remover stuff when i took the decals off the civic, the dude said it doesnt damage paint/laquer at all and it all came off so easily. no idea what it was though, it was quite a while ago now...sorry guys :oops:

it came in a 5litre, metal tub that the decal company had, so there is something out there.

I gave this a go, and I am owe you a huge thanks. At first, the surface area lsot its colour and eventually turned white. However, after 6 month's rubbing the whole care is white - new paint job for free. I owe you big time, thanks! And the car's a little lighter now as well.
