Removed my side decals from my RT. Given the heat, I didn't have time to get out the ladder and work on the rear door adverts, the opera windows or "Roadtrek" decal above the front windshield (besides which I doubt I could have reached them even on a ladder). The decals pulled away using a fingernail to start, a plastic putty knife as needed and some goof-off, mineral spirits and paper towel. No hair dryer needed. Just the heat from the sun.
I then washed the rig with Turtle Wax wash and wax, then finished with some NuFinish on the panels where the decals had been removed. I then hit the window gaskets, door bumpers and handles, my Swingaway box and the foot treads with some 303 Aero and the tires with some No Touch Tire Shine.
Last month I had applied NuFinish to the entire rig, so didn't feel the need to do more than the decal areas. Last week I had polished my front windows and mirrors with 4-0 steel wool and 2 layers of RainX so didn't bother with anything special for the glass this time around.
Now for a cold brew. I definitely like the more "discrete" look. Not true stealth as the front and rear door stickers are still present, but I may leave those for a bit. Oh, yeah, also left the high side pinstripes (I would have needed that ladder). They actually look good. Remember, my rig is just plain old bright polar white. With silver on the base/bottom panels.
