hi guy's just to let you know i have bought some new stickers for my Granduca 56 they look great and i cant wait to get them stuck on the only thing is i can't seem to get the old ones of iv'e tried the following:

hair drier (that just melted the adishive on the ally of the motorhome)

boiling water

wd40

polyuatrhane foam eater

and finally sticky residue remover meant for lam floors

any more ideas as it now looks worse than when i started

i bought the stickers on line and really pleased with them prices start from 9pence per letter from this place http://www.hfe-signs.co.uk/letterin.htm

I would have thought the hair dryer method would have done the trick, dont have it too close to the graphic and gentle peel a corner to allow the heat to get to the adhesive, and gentle tug it off, heating it as you go.   Good Luck.   kiev

Only satisfactory way to remove decals or any vinyl, use a wallpaper steamer, the vinyl will peel off with the glue as well. Note: Most glues on vinyl are based on meths which will clean the residue, if any, up. Hope this helps, I use the method to remove large areas of vinyl wrap.

Most decals can be removed with hot air gun, but kept a good distance from the transfer warming only a small part at a time, try to peel off while pointing the gun at the inside edge as you peel. Once all transfers are removed, you can normally remove glue with a rag soaked in petrol or Gun Wash Thinners.  Do not smoke or let hot gun any where near cleaned area.   I used to put transfers on trucks and tanks, and makes sure area is clean before putting new transfers on, I suggest use Brasso or T Cut to clean whole area otherwise you will see outline of old transfers.

Hi Supertractorman.
I have 2 decals missing and if you stand to the side you can see outline of old decals.
Can these outlines be removed?

Supertractorman has not been back in nearly five years, but someone else will be along to answer your query.

Could you please fill in your outfit and location in your profile. Thanks.

I have tried on numerous occasions Blueexpo, but never been able to get into profiles.
Always thought it was because of poor internet round here.

You need a ‘real’ computer to do it.

I don't have computer or phone blue. I just use wife's booklet thing to look at UK site. Lol. And you are right I think.

For getting stickers and glue residue off, I have found concentrated lemon juice to be very effective.
