My uncle swore by using a heat gun on old decals, and I should have listened
He told me, 'Just warm it up slow and they'll peel right off, no goo.' I was working on a '92 Chevy truck with sun-baked pinstripes and figured a razor blade was faster. Spent the next 45 minutes scraping off tiny bits of adhesive that gummed up everything. Ended up using the heat gun anyway, plus a whole bottle of adhesive remover. Anyone have a better method for really baked-on vinyl?

Heat guns can still leave a bit of residue sometimes.

Ugh, tell me about it! What's the trick to getting it all off? I used one on some old stickers and it left this gross, sticky film that was almost worse than the sticker itself. I ended up scrubbing for ages with goo gone.
