stripes, decals removal

[waxman1]

well i spent the past 2 days removing the stripes,lettering,from an old police car. i had over 8 hrs on one side,scraping them off little by little.then i got those eraser wheels,and boy they make a mess,but it was a little faster. now all i have to do ,is wait for the blisters to heal. make sure you have several batteries if using a cordles drill.i have 4,and the 2 chargers coulnt keep up. well it gave me a chance to cool off that way. will buy the kit if i have to do another one. have fun folks

I assume they were reflective vinyl. Those are always hard for me to remove because the reflective layer always stays behind. I use a heat gun and sometimes some Goo Gone if it's stubborn

[waxman1]

yes they were reflective. and the drivers side being in the sun,most of the time,doesnt help things. heat gun doesnt help much.

I removed the factory hood-fender stripes from my Challenger and it wasn't too bad. The car was three years old when I removed them. I used a heat gun set on low and they came right off. Goo gone got most of the residual stuff.

I have de-striped many a police car in my day. Heat gun and a ton of patience. I am glad you found a method that works for ya!
