Guest Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've just washed and waxed my car (not that it needed it but I'm not going to leave it til it gets really mucky and tar accumulates on the paintwork.) I've noticed that the 'Titanium' letters are coming off. Any suggestions how to take them off fully? I've read on the internet that I would need a hair dryer, but I don't have a cable long enough to reach my car. What else could I use? All of the letters are loose and one letter I can just pull off leaving the glue attached to the car. Do they leave holes? I might just take them off and see how it looks without it and leave it as it is. Not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Dental floss to saw through the foam sticky pads. They won't leave any holes, just clean the remaining sticky bits with lighter petrol or sticky stuff remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Would Auto Glym Intensive Tar Remover be ok? Since I can't use a hair dryer could I try pouring it (carefully) over the letters? Or would it damage the paintwork? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Warm water might help instead. As Stoney said, they're just stuck on - wee bit of dental floss and just remove the residue - I've heard tar remover works, but a drop of petrol is much easier.

Guest Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Right, going to try this now. Since I don't have any dental floss, I'll use fishing line. I'll try the tar remover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've taken the letters off and it was very easy to do. Washed the area, then waxed it. I think I'll leave it as it is. I looks a little bare, but I'll leave it as it is for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
