Default Decal Removal

I recently purhased a 2003 250 4x4 and it has all kinds of warning and safety decals on it. I don't need them on there and I think it really cheapens the looks of the vehicle. Does any one know a way to remove them without scratching or damaging the plastic. Thanks for any info. Lou

Default Decal Removal

heat them a little bit with a heat gun/hair dryer and then try lifting a corner with your fingernail and then they should pull right off.im a autobody tech, so i would either use my stripe remover or just use a standard single razor blade.but probably not a good idea if you have no experience with stripes.decals with razor blade, so just use method one. and if theres any glue residue left behind just soak a rag with alcohol and saturate the glue pretty good before you start rubbing it off.

The best way and probably the easiest is called a pressure washer. Crank the PSI up and they will come right off with out scratching or damaging your fenders!

Thanks for the info about the heatgun. I have one so I tried that and it worked great. The decals came off fairly easy after they were hot, then I used a little gas on a rag to get the glue residue off.
