I've got a new set of Westfalia transfers and want to remove the old ones that are half on and half off. Whats the best way to remove them from the roof and what's the best stuff to clean the roof with before applying the new transfers?
When I try to remove the old ones, the bits that are still stuck are very well stuck on.

Hairdryer sounds like a good idea, not sure about the petrol bit, might try turps or meths
Thanks for the tips though Guz

I had the same trouble. You can try lemon juice as its citric acid and breaks the glue down. I ended up using T-Cut works but takes some time.

Was going to do it today, but the day has gotten awy from me.
I know where to put the transfer on the front, as its still got one, but which side does it go on the back?

Thanks, the one on the back is missing totally so wanted to make sure. Though that it might be the other way round as the one on the front is on the left as well.

Eeeek SORRY
THe front one is on the right and the back one is on the left if you are facing them - scabby and falling off but they are there. Must have been all that watching the tailgate all weekend and driving on the wrong side on the road has sent me loopy! I'll need new ones now too
See..........
