Default Vinyl Graphics Removal

I've decided that I want to change up some things with my car and decided to remove the flame vinyl graphics that I have on the side of my car. My question is what is the best and easiest way to do this? Do I just take a blowdryer to them and peel them off? And what should I use to remove the adhesive that they are going to leave behind? Thanks.

Alrighty...... use a hair dryer to peel the grahics, then get the cheapest mayonnaise you can find spread it over the adhesive... let it sit for a few then wipe off. It wont hurt your paint and it works GREAT if you don't mind the smell.

Then wash and wax the car as usual.


No joke this works GREAT!

If you go to your local hobby store, they sell inexpensive heat guns used for shrinking R/C airplane covering. Then to get the residue, Walmart sells 3M's wax and grease remover.

Yup, save the PB for the sandwich. By the way, the 3M Wax and Grease Remover/Adhsive Remover, comes in spray as well as reg liquid can.
