How do you remove van sign writing.

As the title says what is the best way to remove sign writing from my truck.

Hot air, then a strong solvent to remove any remaining adhesive.

Use a hair dryer and then t cut

Carb Cleaner on a cloth might work, as long as you keep it on the metal parts.

 

But then I'd not try as someone who knows'll comes along and say I'm an idiot.

ask in your nearest body shop if they've got a vinyl removing disc ( its a round disc of squidgy rubberlike stuff that goes in a drill, and it takes of vynl signwriting like shi* of a shiny shovel)

Steam cleaner.

Heat gun to gently warm it. If you do it right you don't leave any adhesive. Heat it too much it melts it as you pull it off.

Getting the vinyl off is easy just hat and peel, getting the adhesive off is difficult, by nature it bonds with the paint or lacquer and is difficult to shift.

 

The worst part is the UV fading to the remainder of the paint, that and the adhesive residue leaves a shadow where the vinyl was. You can buff it out but sometimes it just wont go away.

Just did a van i bought over the weekend. I used a hairdryer and ice scraper to remove all the lettering and images. Then use petrol on a cloth to remove all the adhesive that is left.

as other posts hot air gun but just warm the vinel so it just starts to bubble then grab a end and start to peel using gun to keep what you are peeling off warm. will come off a treat.

but as other posts will leave a shadow as uv has gt to paint work so will need to t cut to get it looking the same. i used a polising mop put a drop of t cut on went over then put a clean mop on head and cleaned off.

long job to get it right.
