How do you remove armor all?

Post by Franko »

I am trying to stick something on the plastic in the car and there is armor all on it from a long time ago.. The hot glue will only stay for a few minutes before falling off because of that damn armor all.. What can I use to remove it so that it can stick right to the plastic?

use an alcohol cleaner like W-Sol. Just be carefull, it will remove paint. Test it first

Yeah I've had the same prob. Amour all is a b---- to remove. IMO those sticky things dont work even if there is no armour all. U could try alcohol but be careful not to discolour the area. Is it a cell phone holder u r trying to stick?

I installed a component system in my car and I wanted to just use glue to stck the tweeters on the inside right by the mirror. Im reluctant to screw them there becuase I might change my mind where I want the tweeters to be.. Or I might change brand of speakers.. Plus I hate putting holes in my car..
