Help....decal adhesive removal

[dodger2107]

WOW,I decided to take the decals off the back of the Express and even though I used a blower to heat the decals there is a crapload of adhesive left over,so far 2 hours to remove a square foot area(so far alcohol,goo gone,krud kutter,and Motsenbockers lift off has been used)...I just bought 3M adhesive remover spray .I got quite a bit left to do if anyone has suggestions I'm open(local detail shop wants $150 to take it off......

:facepalm: I hope you didn't use all that stuff on the paint. Use an eraser wheel.

 

[dodger2107]

I thought about that but I'm afraid to screw up the paint(It's not screwed up yet I've been real careful with all the chemicals)

Eraser wheels are super easy to use. The only way to screw up the paint is if you had it on high speed and kept it in one place, it would burn thru the paint then. The key is to keep the wheel moving and you'll be fine.

The wheels work great, I am on my second one. Best $20 CDN I ever spent, but can't convince the wife to let me remove the Mitsubishi and Lancer from her Car.

Another good Item for De-Gooping is WD-40 which is one of those used Car Lot Tricks.

Definitely use the wheel. The spray sucks, at least for me it did

It's a 2011? This is all I used for the badges and dealer stickers.

update decal remover

Once again thanks for all the input,but the adhesive is gone,I was hesitant about the wheel and went to autozone and bought Turtle Wax label and adhesive remover(man this stuff hates glue it dissolves it pretty much on contact)what took me 3 hours to do before I just did in 30 minutes,happy to report truck is decal and adhesive free.I am returning all the other crap I bought,,,,,

I usually keep a can or two of 3M Adhesive Remover on hand. It works great on molding and badging adhesive, decals and tar. It does not harm the paint.

Cool, glad you found something to work!

Plain old gas works the best. Won't hurt the paint and your done it 30 seconds.

Buy a 3M Stripe-Off Wheel. It's just an attachment you put on your cordless drill. Works absolutely amazing and is safe on your paint.

I used the eraser wheel the other day when I did mine and I had issues with it over heating I was only able to do a letter at a time.
