    What do you pros use to remove glue behind Decals??

    Well I removed all the decals from my 32ft trailer (11 years old and cracked) what a JOB. It left behind some glue in which I can't seem to get off. I'm trying GOO GONE as we speak and it's not really doing much.. Any stronger chemical out there for this kind of stuff?? Thanks!

    I'm no pro but odorless mineral spirits will take care of it with ease. I suggest a small test spot first.

    Dunno if acetone is close but it laughed at it.. Along with good off. Problem is the decal was cracked and the glue cooked on there,.

    Acetone will just spread the glue around and make it very annoying to work with from my experience. 3M Adhesive remover is awesome IMO and I use it everytime I remove decals with crappy glue left behind.

    Meg's body solvent works well. There are stronger solvents out there but it's expensive and usually comes in a 5 gal can.

    We use a body prep solvent, most of these contain xylene. Have used Megs solvent but never really had any luck with it doing anything at all. Automagic has a multi-purpose solvent that works pretty well.
