yeah it annoys me.. whats the best way to take it off?

 

Heat it and pull it off. You'll probably have a change in color underneath it though. That's the only thing stopping me from doing it...

 

getting the sticker off is the easy part. the glue is tough though. i used Goof Off (home depot paint dept)

 

Ditto, I used a combo of bug and tar remover and goo gone, letting it soak for 15-20 min. then slowly and gently scraped it off with my thumbnail. Fingernails a softer than the clear coat and won't leave scratchs that a good prewax cleaner can't get rid of. The color was a little darker undernear. after a year and a good wax or two it was back to the same color, of course I haven't really seen it clean in a good number of months

When I was all done my friend told me about this stuff that works better, can't remember the name. Something like red 23 (I know they make snowboard gear, but it's something to that effect I think)

 

holy cow bro, i never see any trucks with my wheels! My truck looked like that about 3 yrs ago, thats crazy...yea mine is white and i dont want the shiny paint showing, so i just leave the stripe on, it doesnt look that bad either

 

thanks for the info!

 

3M Automotive Decal Remover....

 

it was actually pretty time consuming. you would get a nice strip to start coming off then all of a sudden it would tear off and you have to start from where it ripped. its not too bad, just use what they said, goof off works good for the glue.

 

jesus loves you

 

I just did this... razor blade to remove the stickers and Goof Off to remove the stick crap left over... and then wax/buff out and it looks tits

 

I bought a heat gun to do my first generation. Used all kinds of removal stuff that pretty much just made more goop. It was ten years baked on and faded. I took wooden spatula (sanded down one side to make a soft scraper) and that helped alot with the glue. Also those bondo spreaders help with the goop removal.

If you are going paint it be careful about the glue leaking through. I had to resand and apply primer on those areas several times before color went on.

 

Pressure washer, Then go behind with the solvent

I used my home unit and it tore the decals off.

 

I was gonna take mine off and replce em with new ones but they're still in pretty good shape...Stealer wants $120 for each side though. I said: THEY'RE STICKERS for cryin out loud!!!

 

I used this little eraser wheel that attached to a high rpm drill and it took them right off, as long as you don't hold it in one place too long otherwise it can burn right through the paint. After that I just waxed and buffed. Did this on my white one I owned 3 years ago and just recently on my dark metallic blue one. Neither really showed any color difference.

 

There was absoulutely no way a pressure washer was gonna touch my stickers. I spent well over twelve hours getting them off. All that time in the california sun had pretty much fused them to the damn truck.

 

Thank you for you informative contribution to a 3 and a half year old thread
