How to remove state decals stuck all over the outside

[Stephen2753]

We just took possession of our first RV, and it has at least 20 state decals plastered to it. I would like to remove, anybody have any suggestions as to what to use besides elbow grease?

Thank you

Best I've found for sticker/goo removal is DeSolvit. Similar to Goo Gone, but works better IMO.

Pure lemon oil has worked on every kind of glue/goo/sticky stuff I have tried it on so far.

With any kind of goo cleaner, wipe INWARD, towards the center of the goo, not outward as your natural instincts will want you to. That just spreads the goo.

I took off the peeling wallpaper trim in the kitchen area. It was not regular wallpaper paste but gooey like contact paper. I used goo gone and elbow grease but it was a huge chore. Fabric softener works on wallpaper paste but not on that gunk.
I want to remove the cracking decals on our RV but waiting until I feel like it. ha ha. I am going to try that drill operated "eraser" though.
Inside, ours had a map of the USA but the former owner trimmed out the wallpaper at that site and put up pictures. Just one of those quirky things about someone else's RV. Some folks find it fun to collect stickers, some prefer a more sedated appearance.

I am removing the shower hide-a screen from my coach and they taped the moldings on.Good gracious this tape is tough. Goo gone, WD-40, steam gun yikes!. Nothing really works.

I am softening the mess with soap and rubbing it with a rag and coarse paper towels.

Like this one I have used with success in removing pinstripes.

Be careful with goo gone. It will go through paint.

Those "moteyhome" stickers look "cornball" to me and they are a mess to remove.

Pressure washer will peel decals no problem. Follow up with some goo gone to remove adhesive remains.

I've had really good luck with Turtle wax Label and Sticker Remover.

WD 40!!

Just removed huge decals from a race car. I found that the usual products caused the glue to ball up even though it eventually removed them. I had some hand wipes that come pre-

moistened with orange oil and I added some of the liquid remover to them and the coarseness of the cloth was the key. Rubbing the glue with goo remover and all those types and a

cotton cloth was too time consuming. They have shop hand towels now that are blue and they are excellent also. The warmer the day the better they come off.

Heat gun or hair dryer
