    Hi,

    I use the magnetic p plates and i left them on the rear of my ve commodore for a few weeks. last night i tried taking the plate of and found that it had actually melted so what is left is the magnetic piece from the plate.

    i browsed abit and saw that a caramel wheel worked quite well but im a bit worried that i might kill the paint. i've tried hairdryer and wd40 but still got around 20% left where it looks like it doesn't wanna come off.

    Take it to a professional ie paint shop or pro detailer.

    NSw doesn't allow it to be stuck inside :(

    Also my windows are to dark to be able to see them even if we were allowed.

    Would you know an estimate on how much it would cost a pro detailer to remove it?
