    I was contacted a few weeks ago by a local hotel that was looking to get their vinyl decals removed off a couple vans. They were recently bought out and are changing the logos.

    This weekend I tackled the job. Saturday was the first van which I received some help from a local forum member Andrew (Morphiusrt) for a few hours which is always appreciated! Saturday's job I didn't take any pics. But Sunday I got some decent pics of the 2nd van.

    Over all both vans the decals came off very easy, as in you pull up a corner and the decal comes off in big chunks. One of the easiest decal removals I have done.

    Products Used:

    Kleen APC
    Tarminator
    Plastic Razor Blades
    Iron-X
    Dawn
    D300
    Megs Window Cleaner

    Equipment Used:

    5 Gallon Bucket
    Flex PE14
    Orange HT Pad
    Yellow LC Flat pad - Used on the upper hard plastic

    After all the decals and adhesive were removed I gave the van a quick wash and sprayed with Iron-x. The areas around the decals were loaded with iron particles.

    After a through rinse and quick dry it was on to the polishing.

    I actually received a call from the guy that will be putting the new decals on. He wanted to talk cause he said I did a very good job at removing the decals and he's been looking for someone he could use.

    I hope to set up a few more jobs with him soon.

    Thanks for reading.

    Nice job. Removing decals can be a real PITA.

    Yes it can. This one was thankfully the easiest I've done so far.
