I know this question has been asked before in the forum but what is the best way of removing the safety labels from the fenders of the atv. I don't want to damage the plastic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

i learned this of this forum take a soft towell soak it with hot water let it set on decall awhile then start on a corner and peel the longer you soak them the better all mine came off easy but one i had tp soak it a litte longer took about 45 mins

 

I removed mine after the first ride at the local car wash. The high pressure blasts them right off with no residue left and no damage to the plastic. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

bmgm37 is right a pressure washer will work great just be careful not to hit you decals it takes those off pretty easy too. lol

 

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE LABELS WITH HIGH PRESSURE (WATER) IF YOU HAVE ANY CAMO. The camo WILL come off. I speak from experience.

 

Do you think the pressure washer will remove the labels from a 2001 500HO. I didn't know if the longer they stay on the harder they are to get off. I have washed it at the car wash but I haven't directed the water directly on the safety warnings. I am sure if they do come off there will be a color difference. Does anyone know if there is a wax or some product that will bring some of the color back to match where the labels use to be.
I have plans to buy a 700 in mossy oak. I take it, you don't remove those labels without possibly damaging the mossy oak laminate. Some things are better left alone.

 

I removed most of the labels from my 03 SP700 Mossy oak with a heat gun, and yes I was very carefull so I wouldn't melt the plastic. I'll have to try the wet towel trick with the couple I didnt get around to removing.

 

I just did that myself, used the wifes hair dryer and then cleaned up the little adhesive that was left with 3-M Adhesive Remover.

 

There are some inexpensive heat guns available at your local r/c hobby store. They also work great for changing out the changeable inserts on hockey sticks...GAME ON!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I also did the Heatgun with no problems.
Wher I could,I applied the heat to the back of the plastic.
but it dident make a difference.
