Re: removing decals

I have never tried these, so i do not know if they work or not.

I have also heard that vineagar works and GOO GONE. I think GOO GONE is citrus based, peel as much off as you can and then soak the decal.

Re: removing decals

ok, well I just did mine, so here is a link to the thread about it on Naioa. I did a little write up that you can read thru, also I took pics of the tools and products I used to take mine off.

Re: removing decals

you push it underneath the emblem to un-stick the adhesive, and push the adhesive holding the emblem on out of the way, sort-to say.

I mean, you could just pull at the emblem, but you will most likey end up bending or breaking the emblem, and I wanted mine to come off nicely, becuase they had another purpose that they couldnt be harmed.
