I was contacted a few weeks ago by a local hotel that was looking to get their vinyl decals removed off a couple vans. They were recently bought out and are changing the logos.
This weekend I tackled the job. Saturday was the first van which I received some help from a local forum member Andrew (Morphiusrt) for a few hours which is always appreciated! Saturday's job I didn't take any pics. But Sunday I got some decent pics of the 2nd van.
Over all both vans the decals came off very easy, as in you pull up a corner and the decal comes off in big chunks. One of the easiest decal removals I have done.
Products Used:
Kleen APC
Tarminator
Plastic Razor Blades
Iron-X
Dawn
D300
Megs Window Cleaner
Equipment Used:
5 Gallon Bucket
Flex PE14
Orange HT Pad
Yellow LC Flat pad - Used on the upper hard plastic
Van as I arrived

After all the decals and adhesive were removed I gave the van a quick wash and sprayed with Iron-x. The areas around the decals were loaded with iron particles.

After a through rinse and quick dry it was on to the polishing.

I actually received a call from the guy that will be putting the new decals on. He wanted to talk cause he said I did a very good job at removing the decals and he's been looking for someone he could use.
I hope to set up a few more jobs with him soon.
Thanks for reading.
