how to clean glue residue from seat bases?

That's the puppy

Taa

 

we,ve always called them caramel wheels at work. very good and yes they do smell lush

 

That would be the refined nastiness that enables you to drive everywhere, yes ?

 

Vegetarians have the option of a Tofu Wheel. It does nothing, but makes you feel like you care while you're doing it .

 

i don't think toffee has meat products in it anyway but i still laughed.

 

WD40

 

Haven't used it myself but I asked at the laminate place yesterday, what do I use if I get contact adhesive on the face. His answer was evostik adhesive remover, I think he said 191.

 

why spend time and money....
when a rag an a bit o petrol will work wonders.....

 

AS it goes I clearly have and it worked, why else would I post it

 

It well known that toffee contains the juice of rare beetles, who are mercilessly killed just so your Nan has something to chew.

 

That was kind of my point, but maybe a bit lost.......on the "let's not do chemicals" direction of the thread. Just trying to be all things........xylene, toluene, whatever. We made the stuff, lets use it!

Yep, go with the recommendation, it'll be some "nasty chemical", probably a distillate of naphtha. My years with Bostik/Evode fly in the face of your toffee wheels and beetles.

 

Would napalm shift it?

 

Let's not go there. Dow Chemicals was one of my employers many years ago!!

 

Only kidding . Naptha, as I'm sure you're aware, is fairly unpleasant stuff: I used some PVC window cleaner (naphtha) to clean my plastic mouldings, and it mad me feel rather rough. I tried with with Evo-Stik remover, but it wouldn't shift VW's glue under the seats. In the end, I wire-wheeled it off. Surprisingly, the paint survived...

 

A nice mechanical removal option rather than a chemical one
That's why I'd do the softening heat thing. However, if the toffee wheel doesn't work then the only option is to fight fire with fire

 

Heat might work. I don't know what it is with the VW adhesive - it sets like concrete...

 

have you considered grease?

 

It's old! We're all a bit stiff after a good work out.

 

Great place, especially Corfu

 

i meant the film - olivia could rub it off with her skin tight catsuit.
