    Just a side note, it's been a f***in hot day here in Melbourne, I just had a brainwave after a few beers, walked out to the garage, grabbed the reflectors and *pop* pulled them off with no string etc. took a few minutes with the goo gone to remove the sticky leftovers, but hey, that's one advantage we have in Aus! Just wait till it's 40o plus the pull the bastards off!

    Well I took the advise of another member and took to the folk legs
    with a 9 inch grinder it sure took them suckers off
    no on told me to be careful and now there are no folk legs left
    oh well go get a new set and next time ill use a 4 inch grinder

    Tat, when you get the new set, don't pay the extra, the reflectors are optional

    dental floss works the best, then wax /grease remover or glue remover...a bit of heat.

    My panel and paint guy told me all you need is hot water and they come right off, And you can stick them straight back on using the same tape.
    Sounds too simple, Maybe he was yanking my chain

    I'd be very worried if you threw up red bits.

    could also be reflectors ........or a lung.

    A Taxi companys i worked for used wd40 to remove the taxi stickers when selling or rebranding cabs. Its a light oil and makes the adhesive lose its hold without damaging the paint.
