    Try to heat it up to soften the glue make it more workable, that should help get the heavy stuff off, after that get some make up pads and soak them in tar and glue remover this will help get rid of the smaller bits of glue after the pads are gone :wink:

    Lighter fluid has a lower flash off than petrol etc.
    Can get it in deals or somewhere like that for €1.50
    Petrol evoporates too quickly and will damage the paint.
    if they are the foam ones heat with a hairdryer while pulling them of being careful not to lift paint.
