Decal remnoval...any tips?

[MarkCup]

It's nice and sunny which helps...should I still use a hairdryer to heat them right up or is sunshine enough?

Also, what's best for cleaning off the sticky residue left behind?

Thanks.

i'd guess at you'l be better using a hair dryer. then auto glym tar and glue remover to get rid of the residue. that should be enough.

I used a small blade for mine, like a Stanley blade, then clean off any leftover glue with AG Tar remover

This was a God-send, and doesn't scrape your glass or paint (unless you're a goldfish)

Do not under any circumstances use that ^^ on anything but glass!!! Probably use a hairdryer anyway Mark and try to take as much off in one go instead of small bits.
Best way I found was once you get hold of a corner keep as short a hold as close to the car on the sticker/graphic as possible

It took the Tigger decal of my bootlid - no problem!
But it was just used to lift it so I could tear the rest off

used a steamer thing that removes wall paper.

There old mans van was fully vinyl wraped when he got it and i took the whole lot off in less than a day. Even takes the glue off

use a hairdryer/heatgun then you can use petrol to remove the glue
I do this type of thing in my job as a signwriter

Thanks everyone. After 4 hours my fingers hurt like f***, but they're all off at last.

followed by either petrol, thinners, buff easy or panel wipe

Don't.

99 individual decals removed, only 8 new ones added including the tw*tstrip.
