How hard is it to remove Vinyl?
What's up guys,
Before i start puting some decals on my windsheild, i need to know... How easy is it to remove vinyl? I've heard that all i need is a razor blade and patience. Is this true? Also, does the same go for vinyl on the body as well? I feel a little un-easy about taking a razor to my paint... Thanks all, Mike

NO!
STOP! DO NOT USE A BLADE!! use a hairdryer... heat until vinyl is warm.. then peel back slowly... any residue left over can be waxed/windexed off... trust me on this i change out my stickers on a regular basis!!! j. www.subiegal.com |

I was gonna say use a butchers knife... J/k, I'm with Sube Gal, except I use goo-gone to get off the residue and clean off the goo -gone with car window cleaner.

a razor on the glass can scratch it.

I am about to put a few decals on windshield and body.
Should I be worried about the paint under the decal being a different color than the rest of the body when I take them off eventually or is the paint good enough for that? Thanks all, Stefan |
