be very carefull on lexan if they are coated style abrasion resistant lexan windows. the coating can come off like saran wrap.

3M Adhesive Remover works great, and the plastic razor blades are a big help. Autozone, Orielly's has it on the shelf......

Should you drink the beer for several days before you start?. Just wondering!

Angelo, go to the automotive paint supply store and purchase the die grinder with eraser wheel attachment. Astro tools sells the product. You will need a couple eraser wheels to remove a lot of decals. The wheel is a four inch eraser, and it works great.

This is also very good advice.I used one that I got from Advance Auto to remove some lettering on an enclosed trailer.Worked better than expected.Helped justify the over $40 price tag.

I found this on KleanStrips web site....http://www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=33&prodid=121
Now if I can find a place to buy it .....!! Might have to take a trip to Dallas...except in the rush hours, if there is such a thing !!
home improvement stores sell it, hasn't hurt any paint here yet

I've never had a problem getting them off with just a heat gun. I get the glue off with Safety Kleen parts washing solvent, it won't bother the paint. Never had to use anything else.

heat gun for the bigger ones, get heat just right glue will come with it. any glue residue use wd 40. wont hurt paint at all. for the small or multiple letters or very thin vinyl use the eraser wheel. this combo can get an entire cars decals off in under an hour.

^^^This..... much better/faster than WD40. Also works great on removing the rubber from your rear rockers.

Parts washer solvent works well for both also. Just dip a rag in your parts washer if you don't feel like driving to the auto parts store.
