Removing Decals- A sticky situation
#1
Just thought I'd let you guys know, I tried removing some of the big ugly caution and warning stickers on my 99 Scrambler 400 last night and I was successful! All it took was three things, a hot glue gun, a razor blade, and a chemical/cleaner called "Whip" which can be found at most department stores. I took the hot glue gun and heated a small piece of decal at a time, and then carefully scraped it off with the razor blade. This took a while. After the decal was removed the sticky backing from the decal was still on the fender. I took a paper towel and sprayed whip on it and kept rubbing the spot. Eventually the whip loosened the sticky stuff and the sticky stuff came right off. When I was done I washed and waxed the whole four wheeler and you can't even tell that there was once big ugly warning stickers on the fenders. The spots where the stickers were look nice and clean.
Just thought I'd share this with all of you...

That's the first thing I did to my Scrambler, and the Sportsman, when we got them. I was suprised much better they looked afterwards!
I used a blow dryer to heat them, started the edge with a blade, and then just peeled off the sticker by hand. Then I sprayed it with WD40 and wiped it off. Ta-da! Can't even see the outlines.

Glad to see others removing those unsightly stickers. After you remove them, the areas around them that have been previously scratched tend to be more noticeable. Has anyone found a good way to polish the plastic to make it look new again? ie..polishing compound and a buffer? I've tried Mothers plastic polish, it adds some luster, however it does not remove scratches?? Thanks, Darryl
