fbi012 Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 [quote name='c_hunter']Hair dryer![/QUOTE] ok so do I use it on hot or cold air and for how long should I keep it on? I think the razor blade would damage the paint if im not that careful, I'll try the air dryer first if it doesnt work i'll use that. thnx for the tips btw.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 DO NOT USE THE RAZOR BLADE- that was a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Phew, I was just about to fry you for that comment Jedi.......... Try and pick at one end of the sticker and slowly peel. The stickness left behind can be removed easily with soap and water our Euco oil. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Use a heat gun or a hair dryer on hot to warm up the area and sticker. Once everything gets warm, the adhesive will soften up. Use a plastic scraper or toothpick to lift up the decal and then slowly peel it off at a >90 degree angle from the car surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he did it... :lol: I simply just used my hand and it peeled right off. OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Geez- remember that forum thread that was making the rounds not too long ago about the guy who was told to polish his car with sand? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I used a hairdryer on it's high setting and let the body get nice and warm...the sticker pretty much rolled off just by rubbing my finger over it.

docsmile71 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 When I bought my car from Planet Subaru from Corey, I told him that I didn't want the decal. He took it off for me. What a nice guy. He just peeled it off with his fingernail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 You are luck I was trying to get a Purple PT Cruiser with the top half covered in yellow vinal and lettering on the side to look normal again. I gave up tonite after about 1/2 hr and 1/4 hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STiSubie109 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 use fishing line and work it through the sticky stuff with a flossing motion after you warm it up a bit, that works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
