Pistonheads stickers...How do you remove them???
Discussion
Just a quikkie,
I am considering ordering either a 23" or 12" wide Pistonheads sticker for the back of my 25 foot Elddis motorhome.. (To make it go faster..
.)..but eventually I may have to remove it, it does say easily removable,, but does it just peel off, do you have to warm it with a hairdyer or what??

Yea easy .. try not to removing the cold.. use a hair dryer over the area to warm and peel. you may need some sticky remover ! to get the residue off

Just a hairdryer. Point the dryer-y bit at the sticker for a short time and it'll peel off easily. Then use some polish to remove any remaining sticky stuff and (hopefully) buff out any fading which may have taken place.
Job done.
PS. I'm still mad at you for getting rid of your Morgan for that motorhome.

Try a Jerry Can and a match
You're down in my little black book to hold up for half an hour next summer........
Thank you for not making it longer
This is something I do every day (not to PH stickers I hasten to add!).
Any decals are dead easy to remove . . . use a hairdryer/heat gun to soften the vinyl and simply peel off. If they've been on for heaps of time (or are produced on s
te vinyl), you may find them a bit brittle, but warming them up'll help in that respect.
If you've any glue residue left behind, use a solvent to soften this (test on an area of similarly painted 'ute to check it doesn't adversely affect the paintwork before dong so though!). We use "Starchem degreaser" as it's bloody good for this, but any solvent will do (the stronger the solvent, the more likely it'll affect the paint though).
Using a decent strong rag, give the area a chuffin' good rub and bingo! Pristine, decal free paintwork.
If the decals have been on for a long time, you'll have an area of unbleached paint, but a bit of elbow grease and t-cut/cutting compound and polish will see her right
