Foil Delete Glue remover

OK, Just did the foil delete mod tonight. Painted both the intercooler pipes too! Anyways, I read on here the multiple ways of removing the stubborn glue on these pipes from Carb Cleaner to WD-40. What I found to work the best was a spray on gasket remover made by Permatex. $6 for a can. This stuff just melted that glue instantly, and I just used a wire brush to remove it. Took about 20 mins/4-5 songs on the radio! Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I first tried the WD-40, and it was not nearly as easy. Hope this helps someone yet to do this mod.

Good to know. I used Sol-U-Strip adhesive remover which also melted it away in about the same amount of time. So how do you like the whistle now??

I have used that stuff on everything from built up oil deposits to carbon on pistons & exhaust ports of 2-strokes to gaskets that it was made for and have had great results. It reminds me of some stuff call "aircraft remover" that was a paint remover for metals that you did not want to sand blast. Kind of sticky so it stays working on the stuff your trying to remove.
