I decided to remove the decals from my car over the winter. Some of them have been on there for 10 years or more. I started with Goo Gone and was getting nowhere. I contacted the guy who does the vinyl lettering on our trucks, and he gave me the remainder of a gallon of Rapid Remover from rapidtac.com. He advised me to use it sparingly, and that you need to wait at least a minute for it to work after you apply it. There are also videos on the internet. This stuff works great. It still took close to 8 hours to do both sides of the car (I had a lot of decals on it). You need a plastic scraper, and you don't so much wipe the glue off as scrape it off. Afterwards, I decided that I needed a gallon for future uses. I looked it up on-line and found that it cost $50 to $60 per gallon. Now I know why Kevin said to use it sparingly!
