Step
1
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up a small region of
the decal. This will make the decal more pliable and reduce
the adhesive bond.
Note: Be careful not to overheat the bodywork or the
paint may blister.
Step
2
Starting at a corner, lift the decal away from the
bodywork.
Step
3
Use both hands as you get to the wider sections of the
decal.
Go SLOWLY. Too much tension will cause the decal to
tear.
Step
4
The heated area will cool off after a few minutes, causing
the adhesive bond to increase again. You will notice that the
tension will increase and the decal will tend to tear easily.
Step
5
Simply repeat Step 1 and continue.
After the decal is removed there may be adhesive residue
remaining. Use an adhesive remover to remove residue. We
really like the citrus-based adhesive removers like GooGone
because they are non-toxic, bio-degradable, and can be readily
found at hardware, department, and grocery stores.
Note: Older decals tend to become
brittle over time and keeping it warm is very important. Also,
some decals simply don't comply with the rules and take longer
to remove.
