    Im not sure, but give it a shot since it's less aggressive than an adhesive remover.

    epoxy? yung 2 component epoxy? kung yun nga at napaghalo na yung dalwa (part A and part B) patay! that's very difficult to remove. it's already crosslinked na. walang houselhold solvent na kayang magtanggal nyan, in fact, kahit pa gasoline siguro gamitin mo, it would'nt be dissolved. the only way to remove it is to physically scrub it off, bit by bit, alalayan mo na lang ng soapy water or maybe a bit of rubbing compound -- use one with fine abrasives.

    kung di naman napaghalo yung part a/part b, may pag-asa pa yan. kaya yan aromatic solvents. try any cleaning agent that has xylene or or toluene (read the product label to find out). pag hindi gumana, nakow. ...

    if nothing else works, palagay ko, scrub the paint then re-paint...:roll:

    If it's mighty bond(cyanoacrylate) try a rag soaked with very hot water.
    It will take a while but cyanoacrylate is water soluble.

    Speaking of maids, baka meron kayong pwede irefer pa email na lang Auto_Xer*yahoo.com. Tnx.

    Auto_Xer, yun ang una kong sinubukan kasi ganun ako magtanggal ng stickers, pero wala e...

    chieffy, bumili na din ako nyan pero ayaw pa din ang masama ngayon may gasgas na yung sides nung streak...

    oh well, i guess pa paint ko na lang yung buong panel... gastos na naman...

    Try mo muna iscrape yung adhesive until it's REALLY, REALLY thin... chances are, you'll need to remove a minute layer of existing clearcoat to remove the adhesive as well. Hopefully there'll be enough paint underneath to polish it out. It'll save you a repaint.
