I tried it today and it works really well!
Ok my actual purpose was removing the plastic 'C' pillar panel from a scrap car, method employed butane torch to melt the glue, but you can see the paint around the edge of the panel (where I was heating) looks brand new, the rest of the panel looks dull and crappy.
I would do the whole panel but it's grey and needs to be green! :roll:

Oh you guys!! Thanks for your kind words 8) 8) 8) What a bunch of blokes you are. I have to say I met up with DocChev on Saturday who very kindly donated a superb TZD interior to replace my itchy scratchy TGD interior....what a lovely bloke. This seems a great forum and I'm glad it didn't collapse over the last few days :P
