Chris,
The autoglym one I have used to good effect on some of the stubborn ones. You have to leave it on a bit first. Think it is the following (not at shop at mo)

p.s. autoglym are a franchise around here at least – they delivered for free to me next day as they were quite local.

Right off, citrus solvent from dorotape.
Never come across an adhesive it wont dissolve yet. -
try peptone or panel wipe, strong stuff so watch the paintwork, never use it on paint the is just sprayed, eg 2-3 weeks

like Steve I’ve used a citrus based solvent. Citrusol or something it’s called. Has worked well so far. I bought it from a local chemical factory. 🙂

Citrus sol is what my girlfriend uses at work, its a powerful degreaser & solvent, any of those should work.
-
yeah Citrusol and a plastic scraper. Sh1te job eh Chris! 😀
-
thanks guys and gals
trying to find some citrusol.
it really is glue from hell at least the concrete is clean where we are doing it.i think its a stone guard type clear material over some stripes.
what i do know is it was not normal vinyl

Autoglym Tar and Adhesive Remover, not nasty stuff to work with so I use it exclusively now, spray leave for 30 secs, spray again, wait a wee while and scrap off.
Cheers

Rapid Remover (by the Rapid Tac guy) might help.
Love….Jill -
I’ve been using Autosmarts tar and Glue remover – along the same lines as the autoglym
