How to remove a sticker?

[Jon Wildes]

Bought my daughter a 20 year old Mazda B-4000 for her 1st car. It had the stripe/graphics package that was pretty worn and I had to remove it.

1. Heat gun. Heat up the decal and it might pull off pretty good by hand. If not, use a plastic scrapper.
2. If this doesn't work, use an eraser wheel. I think it worked pretty good.

3. Acetone for all the residue that is left behind. This was the hardest part of the job. Rub rub rub.
4. Cut and buff to match.

This is how the trucking industry removes stickers and decals when they sell a rig

I have the same splash like graphic on 97 TJ . 23 years old. Wondering if you removed yours and if you were able to buff out the ghosting or were left with a decal outline

Someone on here had recommended William's 'Lectric Shave. This shit will take the chrome off of a '56 Caddy bumper. I have used this to remove stickers adhesive you name it. Heat gun with plastic scraper and then Williams to remove any remaining adhesive residue.

BTW - I have used this on the TJ body to remove some goopy stuff and it does not have any negative affect on the paint. It will remove wax though. How anyone would want to use this for shaving is beyond me.
