Pictures of your best finished jobs...!!! My sign guy printed a banner collage for me on heavy vinyl that has UV protective layer. My sign shop coached me how to wet apply my photo banner. I used a urethane hand roller to roll the pure water out from under the vinyl once I had the vinyl where I wanted it. The paint must be very clean first. Wash good, then wipe down very good with isopropyl alcohol and white terry clothes till no soil shows on white terry cloths.

Great advice thanks. I’m going to get my buddy who valets car to give it a good clean and buff before it gets done then I will get the sign company to apply signs for me 👍

Great help to take the stickers off. I tried nail varnish removal, didn't take the paint off.

Yes, pictures. Videos of work, make shorts on the job. Make it all informative and you will be over 6 months backed up locally to your town! Seriously, social media is everything. Find your favorite neighborhoods and join the groups. Next door is key, my company that I'm gm for is number 1 out of 178 paint companies on a lake called lake Conroe. We get so much business just from that.

White spirit moves it off with ease after you use the heat gun, douse a sponge with white spirit , let it soak for 15 mins, then go over it again an it will come off easy

(Exterior Squeaky Clean Services’s )sounds good for your new logo. 👍💪😁

Paint thinner!!! 🤦🤦🤦 literally will remove it and not effect the paint or finish at all. Just use a water rag behind it if you are scared it will ruin your paint. Seriously! 😢😢 Edit: great video though, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this.. it will help so many people!!

Is there a video on that?

Used a rubber eraser wheel for the lettering and a heat gun for the image decals which worked really well now to try the glue remover......

I use a product called Citrol degreaser dissolves adhesive Don't know if available inUK

Thank you

Maybe a batterie buffer with a fine scrubber with Wd 40 may have been a good option.,, I would have a semi skin wrap with a window cleaner or Private home cleaning

Thanks for the tips!

Use a caramel wheel attached to your drill. Vinyl and glue gets pulled off in one. It’s the only way to do it

Tar and glue remover would be better Dave. Just got my newer van last week and in the same situation what way to go with sign writing. From Richard

That sounds like the best way to me 👍

Don't use abrasive creams. Petrol, isopropyl alcohol

Cream cleaner is a mild abrasive, so will dull your paint or worse.

I'm probably going to use rubbing alcohol too it is a solvent

I echo these words. I'm an ex-ford main dealer valetter. There I used autoglym tar and glue remover. Since then I've gone on to Tar-Dah from Amazon. So so easy. Wipe on, wait, wipe off 😁

Why wouldnt you just "Tar and Glue Remover" Spray it on wait 10 mins then wipe it off and then you dont mess up your paint work.

Glue and tar remover would get this off instantly. Then polish will take the rest off. Generally shit it when you said cream cleaner. Poor paint👀🥲
