Re: Removing Decals
 
Everyone's ideas on here are good for removing decals. Before sticking new ones on, consider this.

Go to a sign shop and see if they will sell or give you some static cling vinyl. Stick the decals to the static cling then cut out around the edges of the decal. Now stick the decal on the car. You will be able to move the decals around remove or reapply them easily.

I have been doing this for years. It is a little work to apply the decals to the cling-on vinyl but nothing compared to peeling them off without using static cling.

After hair dryer and removal, I always use goo gone to get the glue off.
Apply the goo gone stand back drink a beer then wipe off, if needed after you let the goo gone set for 5 minutes you can use a rag and plastic razor blade works excellent

Yep. "Pants them", as my old friend Mike Smith would have said. Hey, it worked.

Angelo,just invite Billy Nees over and buy him a bottle of Cuervo Gold and some sauerkraut.He'll either blow on the decals and they'll just drop off or the kraut is for plan B.
Can't guarantee the paint will survive Plan B though.Oh yeah,open the windows and have a milsurp. gas mask available.I hope that helps.Plan C is to invite Himes over too.

However, I tried it and it works pretty well. You must rubber gloves but it did not damage the paint at all.
It is also much easier and faster than WD-40.
You will need a good supply of soft rags or soft shop paper towels.
I used it and it works.
My 2 Cents

Be Careful Using Oven Cleaners!
Test a small spot on whatever surface your trying to remove the decals on!
Nick tried to remove "painted lettering" from a trailer, the oven cleaner not only removed the lettering but the paint from the panel as well......

Oven cleaners will streak and dull the finish if left to penetrate for a long period of time!

LMAO!!

Angelo, 3m makes an adhesive remover that wont harm the paint and will take the glue residue off. Heat gun on low always worked for me on the stickers.

George, I was thinking of you recently and happy to hear what you posted, LOL!

Repeat as needed!

After the old ones are off, put a dozen or so coats of wax on the car to make removal easier next time.
