Have you tried the boiling hot water method (I’ve never tried it myself)

That only works with plastic like bumpers doesn't it?

Wonder how hot the water has to be...don't want to damage the paintwork, I'll get researching.

Finally washed it  :embarrassed:
All the protection it's had these last 18 months really pays off at times like this :smiley:

Probably 5 or 6 coats of Gtechniq c2v3.
It's so easy to apply that you can use it pretty well every time your car has been cleaned and dried if you choose.
At £20 a bottle it can't be argued with :smiley:
