From experience I would recommend using heat to start with just to get a bit of sticker lifting once you have enough loose to grab stop heating and the rest will pull off, too much heat causes the vinyl to go too stretchy and tear, once the vinyl is off you can remove the remaining glue with a solvent of your choice I have tried everything and found that paint thinner seems to work best, cover the glue with it, wait a couple of minutes then scrape it of with a plastic scraper and a cloth, tcut after that and you wouldn’t know a sticker had been there it’s a tedious job I know
I don't think the paint thinner matters once the paint has dried. Its effective when its still wet though. If your decals have been on long enough, the paint is more than dry by the time its coming off.
is there any easier way to remove foil? i have whole car coverd with low quality foil, and i'll need 5 days to remove all that like you removing that vinyl
heh that looked hard work. use a metal fish slice , like you use for frying. make sure it hasn't sharp edges then push that against the vinyl and heat . it will peel up..
I know this is 10 years old but a wallpaper steamer works so easy and that 1 letter you did would have come off within 2 minutes
It always helps to have a good idea of a process before trying to show someone else that way you look a little less a idiot.
Thank you! I got to do this on two words on my new to me van... It was an ambulance so 18 letters!

Will the paint thinner not affect the paint on the car at all?
@@jackglasriken3016 that's what I was thinking, I don't think I'd use paint thinner to be on the safe side.

Damn good! Will do this tomorrow, New Zealand!
So what about the visible outline of the letters after vinyl is removed?
T cut takes it off
Thank god someone invented a rubber wheel that rips stickers right off vs struggling like this!
Never again will we take forever
What about that outline?
What about the dark stenciling?
Ok now that its off how do you get the ghost letter to match the rest of the car?
That's what I'm trying to find
Machine polish
