Tri~chloro~ethylene.

Use the hair dryer again to soften it if its hard
Cellulose will take the paint off and the glue

thanks for that but wish to keep the paint on her now she looks georgous, well worth the hard work. xx

I am a car valeter by trade and I use a great glue remover which is made by Autosmart. I cannot remember the exact name of the product but I will have a look for you tomorrow and PM you with the brand name, I guarantee it will do the trick without damaging your paintwork.

thank you all, i got a very nice man help me take off the glue and now masie looks stunning. thanks again for your help ta xx ps he was a valeter as well.

My local Auto Smart supplier is a guy called Mark his tel no is 07831 269500. They have depots all over the UK but a call to him will give you your local Auto Smart supplier and they supply the valeting trade. The product is called Jel Sol and I have used it for all sorts of glue removal on paints, fabrics - all surfaces and it has never damaged anything. It will even get chewing gum out of carpets. I can highly recomend it.
PS I am not trying to plug Auto Smart - I only use them for a few specialist products. If you need a product for a job which is a little out of the ordinary they will most likley be able to supply something that will do the job.
Glad to hear that your van looks great!
