OK, pose a stupid retarded question, but...

I have an X reg SXi and I want to debadge the boot (silver writing). I know it's double sided glue, and I've so far got the 1.2 off, but how can I get the rest of the glue off?

I've been told degreaser works, but where do i get that from?

Any help would be most appreciated.

cheers

Yeah, Autoglym Tar remover, did the trick for me, dab it on and leave it to soak in for 5 mins
