I have tried to get those nasty looking deteriorated decals off my coach for some time now. I have tried Goo Gone and some other stuff that 3M makes. I have even tried silicone spray, WD40 and paint thinner. With those chemicals I was able to get about 1-2 inches of material off in about an hour. Nothing has worked. Tonight I used a rubber cooking spatula and heat gun to remove the top vinyl layer of a decal section. Once the top layer was removed exposing the adhesive backing I used Concentrated Heavy Duty Floor Stripper made by Rubbermaid. It comes in a one gallon jug that can be purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. Once you get all the decal adhesive removed, make sure to remove the excess floor stripper so that it does not eat your paint too. I did this by using Lysol kitchen cleaner. I took off about an 18 inch section in about 20 minutes thanks to the Floor Stripper.
Napa used to sell a liquid decal remover. When I used it back in the mid 90's, I wet the decal and it wiped off with a terry cloth towel. It did not harm the paint. Don't know if they still make it.
Always wondered why they put decals on the front of 5th whls.Everything beats em up pretty bad.Mine are shot after about 40,000 mi and 7 yrs.Thanks for the answer - 3M eraser wheel.
