What glue remover do you use? Looking for a replacement
Hi all.
Ive been using 3m 50098 cleaner forever. Its great and does the job well but im wondering if there is a cheaper alternative that performs anywhere near this stuff?

We use "sott right-off" from sd+ in Ireland. About £40 for 5l from memory. Works great

I have been using this as long as I can remember…
lots of "copy" type brands around cheaper and WEAKER.

Tardis tar & glue remover from Autosmart for us.
Buy 25l drum of the stuff, and decant into a spray bottle :thumbsup:
Also use G101 from them too, as a general purpose panel wipe :thumbsup:

I’ve had good results from concept tar and glue remover, big brand in Bodyshop supply shops, however just the other week we were given a sample of autosmarts prep tone and it’s brilliant !

David that 101 is the business mate we pre clean with this then clean again with a surface cleaner, brilliant stuff!

Not come across preptone, is it a T&G remover or general purpose panel wipe?
Used some G101 on a car, and it didn’t stick to well, think I may have made it a bit strong, wiped over the other panels with IPA and all was good.

Ask your auto smart guy for more info, mine told me the people who defleet the BT vans love it and it really does break down the glue so your not left with a big snotty mess lol

This was from a detailing forum -
I’ll ask next time they pop in.
What surface cleaner do you use, after the G101?

Come on Richard I’m curious. We have colour coded triggers, and made a nice hanger for them. I’ll share a pic tomorrow when I get in

The first one is a product called tango and good for trims after we have wrapped a van, the clear is prep tone, the orange is surface cleaner from spandex, the yellow is G101 and the last blue one is easy apply for when we apply ppf foils or wet application of etch etc

Be very careful with preptone on plastics, it can melt them!
And if a vehicle has been repainted in can be strong enough to soften some aftermarket paints.

thanks for the heads up, we have been using it for a few weeks now and most of my work is in Bodyshop’s, no probs as yet but we’re keep this in mind thanks RIch
