    Default removing chrome mirrors and handles advise

    hello every i need some help removing my chrome mirrors and door handles. i've got the mirror covers off by soaking in hot soapy water. but its left loads of double sided sticky stuff on my car. and it gave me a blister trying to scratching it off.

    my chrome handles will not budge at all any suggestions?

    Tar remover to get the sticky stuff off. Have you tried blowing hot air using a hair drier on the handles to soften the glue then lift away?

    WD40 works well on double-sided tape, too.
