Removing Decals

Steves68Nova · 01-03-2014, 10:22 PM

Lots of great ideas. My problem is a little different, I have a decal of a drivers name on my plastic windows and now have changed drivers. Any ideas on how to remove the decals without screwing up the windows? Also if I ever join the HRA's again I am sure I will not get the same numbers. They are on the windows too.

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.
