well i did a search in this board and didnt really find an answer. i pulle dup my carpet(tossed it sooo nasty) and need to get the sticky swatches/patches up to i can rust bullet the floor. I have seen suggestions like acetone, gasoline and push it into the sun(lol).

just wondering if there is something easy to use. i tried acetone but maybe i just didnt use enough? i really dont wanna spend 3 days scraping at these patches only to give up.

 

Wire wheel on a grill.

 

assuming you mean drill, and i have tried that didnt seem to work. just seemed to push it around not really remove it. I can always try it again maybe i just didnt hold it in a spot long enough.

 

Are you talking about the places where the carpet insulation was glued to the floorboard in a few areas? If so get a heat gun and warm it up real good to soften the adhesive then use a razor blade scraper like you use to scrape old decals off glass and start at a corner and start scraping it off. Just be careful and dont get in a hurry and slice your fingers.

 

Try Goo Gone or something similar. I removed vinyl flooring from my trailer floor which left glue all over. Goo Gone was the only thing I found (after trying everything else in my garage) that got it off. You can get it at autoparts stores or Home Depot.

 

The sticky patches on the floor are there to seal around the plugs in the floor.
They are very easy to remove with a heat gun (or a torch) and a chisel. Don't use a wire brush on a drill, that just throws stuff all over the inside of your car.
