I got mine off with IPA.
Not the real ale, but IsoPropylAlcohol.
A pure, strong solution. Obtained for me by someone who works in the medical profession... _________________ Dave.

You could always try covering it up with a sticker.
What?
DOH!

Isn't that the same thing soaked into medi wipes
Sounds like it's worth a try. _________________ Les

Nail polish remover will work - but be careful you don't strip the clear-coat off too. Also try Turpentine (white spirit?) to soften it up and take it off with a chamois and car polish. You'll probably need to chuck the chamois afterwards though

It's not them, lol it comes in 5 litre cans it's a liquid, find a back street bodywork repairer & see if they will sell you a litre. |

And the saga continues
Willow was never the right motor for the two dobies so er'in'doors finally decided to go for something a little larger.
Just got to convert her to LPG and the baby 90 will go up for sale.
Looks strange to see such a straight 80 sat next to my beast on the drive and the poor 90 has been relegated to the street. _________________ Les
