  • Best technique to remove old decals?

    I'm looking for a way to easily remove some of the old decals from my Hustler. Does anyone have a favored technique or product they've used to remove stubborn old decals?

    WD-40 does a great job.

    Edit: I guess I could elaborate. Just spray it directly on top of the decal and let it soak. Keep a rag handy to catch any run-off. If you can, score the decal in several places to allow the WD-40 to get behind the decal. Once it has soaked for a few minutes start working a corner or edge and once you get it pulled up a little, spray a little more WD-40 behind the decal. Repeat until it is off. After the decal is off the WD-40 will remove the left over glue as well. Just spray it on a rag and wipe the glue until it is gone.

      I use a hair dryer, and then use some stuff called "Goo-Gone" to remove the adhesive. It works great.

            Back in 2000, I had a 2000 honda quad. Anyways, left it at friends house, when I went to pick it up it has somthing funny all over it. I asked him and he spray painted clear coat on it. Right over dirt and mud and all. That Goo Gone worked on it. Took it all off!!!

              Some friend, Larry! I'm hoping he was just trying to shine it up!

              I've never used Goo-gone, but it looks like I'll have to try it. I've used the 3M adhesive remover and it works pretty well, but it's very expensive.
