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.
thanks - I'll check into it

Hey everyone. I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet. We have a sign shop and have a commercial glue remover that would take you maybe 5-10 minutes (per side) to remove all the glue. It will NOT hurt the paint or clearcoat! Also when putting your decals back on, we make a one piece decal to fit your car. Give me a shout if you need any glue remover, we buy it 5 gallons at a time. The only problem is you won't get to sit around for 5 hours and drink beer while you work because you'll be done in 20 minutes! 256-810-6162

Are you saying it softens the glue under the decal for removal or just removes the residue after decal removal?

My apology....It will remove the glue. We use a razor to get the corner started up on the decals the peel them by hand. A little heat is good, a lot of heat can make it worse (they'll stretch & leave ALL the glue) and some of them don't matter what you do they are a pain. All depends on the material the decals are made of. We then use the remover to get the glue. It won't soften the decal for removal. Only way to do that is elbow grease or a rubber wheel on an air tool (which makes a mess!) but it works. If you ever try the one piece decal wrap, you will never go back. They can be removed in 5 minutes with no leftover glue.

Where can you purchase this wrap Jeff? I'll assume it is clear...you cut it to fit a specific area? I'm thinking the lower door panels and fender quarters.
