I haven't got mayonnaise at home, though, will buy some tomorrow just because and make it a point of telling the shop lady what it's for ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It'll do it.....use the best quality liquid wax you have, leave it soak in for a few minutes then rub it in. It'll take a few applications to get rid of all the glue though.

I'd use WD40 before I'd use brake cleaner though. I've tried wax and WD40......and wax does a better job on glue. WD40 does a better job on tar though.

Expand Brake cleaner is ok its carb cleaner you need to keep away from paint and plastic that stuff is vicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
