Factory Decal Removal

I bought a used vehicle one time that had multiple bumper stickers all over the painted bumper. I know it's not the same as the factory decals, but a bumper sticker remover (spray on) bu Turtle Wax worked wonders.

Nice helpful post to help your fellow camper said no one ever..

I had the same issue with my last rig and did as the others suggest - we used a combination of hair dryer, goo gone, and 1000X patience.

Ignore the folks who give you a hard time and think they somehow own the forums because they've been here a long time. I've been camping 45 years and just joined here myself.

Post count is no indication of intelligence..

I'd try this Vinyl Off liquid softener before anything. If it doesn't soften quick enough, it will still remove the residue.

hair dryer or heat gun (cautiously) and mayo to remove the glue- it works- rub it on and wait a minute and wipe off.

There is no easy way to remove the decals, it takes lots of time, patience and elbow grease. I used a heat gun, plastic scrapers, and an eraser wheel to remove the decals on our MH, then a gallon of acetone to remove the glue residue. In all, it took me 22 hours to get off what I could. There is still some decal striping at the top of the MH, but I am not steady enough to be on a ladder to remove them so they will get removed by the people who are going to paint our MH.

I used a hand-held garmet steamer. Just a little steam at a time, takes patience. Some people use a hair dryer. I used a little WD40 on a cloth to get the glue off. Very tedious work and time to do it.

Be nice the person joined today, We all make mistakes.:)
