The thinners will remove paint but in a small area you could get away with only a small amount of paint loss.

It's just not worth the risk with thinners when so many other useful ideas have come forward.

thinners is okish on modern 2pac paint , that has been painted for a long time , but you need to what your doing , as it can still make it soft .
if your not experianced with stuff like this ..use paint shop degreaser, (panel wipe) .... you can also get glue remover , from wurth but ..its not worth it ..escuse the pun as panel wipe does the same job & cheaper

Right girlies

Its not just glue there is still a small amount of soft velcro type material on top.
I tried frame cleaner, no luck
Tar spot remover, little effect

Taken a whole side off with petrol, and a packer. Took time but is working

Paintwork seems ok. Need to T-Cut the whole car afterward anyway.

Thanks for all the consideration.

good hot jetwash, the best way to get stickers off, get them nice 'hot & wet' & they will peel straight off, done many a commerical this way

Soaking a rag in 2 stroke, then rubbing it on the glue/velcro strips, then scraping with a plastic packer. After taking a layer off, just reapplied a damp cloth of 2 stroke to it. Took time but wasn't too bad.
