Vicks Vapor Rub?
Good ole fashion fingernails?

Something just isn?t right with you.

I love my time off just as much as anyone, but after so many months of it, it's nice to actually make money sometimes.

I used to help peel the factory plastic off of brand new cars when I was a lot tech, does that count? What's that called again, PDI? Pre-delivery Inspection? Something like that.

Heat gun for sure
Vinyl off
Plastic razor blades
Well ventilated area


Good times will be had

Heat guns are okay, but the cords and the time wasted messing with them sucks. Use a butane torch instead. 3M adhesive remover is one of the best products on the planet.

The best way to make sure you have all the glue off the paint, is to rub your open palm on the ground/floor and then gently rub your hand on the area you removed product from.

If you missed adhesive, you will find very quickly using this method.

A more advanced way to remove adhesive remains is to have a standard razor blade appropriately dulled. Each razor blade that you unwrap the little cardboard thing from, has two sides. One that grabs and catches on everything, and one that doesn't. Determine which side doesn't, and rub it back and forth on some scrap steel at slightly different angels in a circular motion for at least 30 minutes. It really sucks when ya break a seasoned blade and have to make a new one.

The blade I use for glue removal could be pushed down the hood of a car in the dealership showroom, and it won't leave a scratch.

Tomorrow if he still has it. He's an impulse buy / sell guy, kind of like me. If caller #1 isn't interested NOW! he goes down the phone tree. Sometimes an item is still available, other times gone before caller #3 has picked up the phone . It had potential and (IIRC) a 351 drive train, or not.
