Yousef Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi All, I'm looking to replace the carpet on my 620. After removing my carpet I find that there is residue from the adhesive from the carpet as well as regular dirt etc. Any recommendations on what type of spray to use for a good scrub? Thanks, Yousef Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Acetone should cleanup old adhesive.. but could get messy with the sound deadening. Maybe? Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 That's not a fun job. WD40 works in conjunction with a gasket scraper or putty knife. Once it's all removed there's going to be a big cleanup effort to get all the slime cleaned up. If you had a heat gun, you could heat the underside of the floor to help peel the adhesive off. Then clean up with solvent, acetone, etc. For regular cleanup, I use Purple Power or Super Clean. They are pretty caustic, but rinse right off and leave a perfectly clean surface. Just don't get it on any anodized aluminum. Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you're going to put down carpet again and more glue, is it necessary to remove all the old glue? I'd use Simple Green as a good cleaner. There are plenty of non-toxic rust removers if you need it. Then glue away once the dirt is removed with no need to remove anything but the glue which never stuck to the paint in the first place. Very little is needed anyway - just around the perimeter and near the base of the tranny tunnel. Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I've used Adhesive Cleaner before and it works great. I bought it at the local auto paint shop. Quote Link to comment
