I just painted my el-cheapo Venom racing body (Skyline GTR). It is now iradescent purple/green. I'll take photos when I finish it off...

The window masks have left the sticky stuff on the windows. Anyone know how to get it off?

Tried soapy water (hot). Did bugger all.

Got none of the other stuff you guys mentioned.

Final solution: Zippo Lighter fluid (or other brand). Use liberally on a rag/paper towel and wipe straight away. The glue comes off instantly. Polycarbonate seems to be unaffected.

yeah we use that stuff at work to remove cutting wax

X-55 = Zippo fluid

its good to use on poly and acrylic as it will not eat in to plastic but its not a good thing to get on ur skin id use rubber gloves if u r using it
