wats the best way 2 get the rub strips off?

coz i used white spirit n it toook months.......literally

ne 1 gt ne other suggestions?

hair dryer/soapy water and an old credit card or fishing wire. slower the better slide the card behind the strip.the more glue you get off the better.then i used wd40 or engine degreaser to get the rest off.then t-cut the paintwork back to glory

looks alot better with the strips off.if you wait while its warmer weather it would be alot easier.i did mine last month and i had to heat it up alot.

I found a wet cloth with methanol spirit more time efficient although you require a big arm to keep scrubbing!

PAtience works though cos you really don't want to ruin the paintwork.
