Getting off after-market wheel decals

[LeTurbo]

Any idea what solvent I can use to remove after-market decals? They're on a set of Ventos. I've tried benzine and thinners (takes the ink off but not the adhesive); I've tried peeling them off but the plastic breaks into tiny little pieces. Any other ideas, o ye fellow Hubber fonts of information, good advice, and boer-maak-'n-plan-isms?

peeling them off slowly, try a hair-dryer to warm it up a bit.... have patience...

[ use a hair drier .... or spray with WD40 allow to soak then peel slowly ...

Also heard that furniture polish like Mr Min might also work. I know it works very well removing double-sided tape.

Mr Min is also very effective.

Warm with hair dryer, peel off slowly, remove sticky mess with Q20...

I can see myself getting as high as a kite when I do this. Wheeeeha!

Why would you want to "get-off" on after-market decals?!?!

 

Try the hairdryer or maybe even an exposed flame to soften the glue & plastic. Rather stick to the hairdryer. Any fluid solvent to "attack" the plastic if applied and left for a couple of minutes, might damage the paintwork though.

Oh, and if you can get one of those high pressure thingies. That will take care of stickers for you. Blasted my stickers right off of my rock shock the other day.
