    If they did not use plastic primer I've had luck just using a high pressure water gun

    hello poltac, finally got round to working on my guards, the pressure washer got rid of most of it, thankyou, it didnt leave any scratches at all and has come up pretty good

    Hi. Recently had a dodgy repair fixed under warrant on our Toyota echo (big engine, 1.5!). Crash repairer had painted the bumper and not primed/prepared it so the paint was peeling off. Took it back and he said they would use high pressure washer to remove the paint so it appears even the "experts" use this technique!
