vinyl removal

[boostisgood]

Well, call me stupid as the last time I took vinyl off, i gouged my paint. Anyone got suggestions on vinyl removal?especially in the cold?

I was thinking of using a hair dryer on low setting to heat them up a bit. Any ideas ?

take your time and go slow. the hair dryer is a good idea but being slow is the key

Hair dryer to soften the glue. I usually just use my finger nail to bring an corner up. Then with the glue being soft you can usually get the whole chunk off if it hasn't been on for too long.

Then for residue left behind use a product called Goof Off Citrus. It MUST BE CITRUS! You can buy it at the home improvement department of any store. I've used that stuff for years for paint.

Yep! 3M is the s***. totally safe on paint. another great tool in a smart eraser pad.

I used it when removing the door trim's left over double sided tape and it took about 30 minutes for both sides

That sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. (uhm)
