hairdryer as it makes them go soft, if you know what i mean. then use white spirits to rub any of the glue off but don`t rub too hard as it will rub the paint off

Question

Mt brother's been told to remove some stickers from his works van over the weekend. They're original ones put on by a signwriter, so I guess they're trying to save some money. They even had the cheek to warn them of a bollocking if it wasn't off the vans by Monday.

Anyway, what would you recommend using to get 'em off? hairdryer, warm soapy water? or is there something better/easier?

Stefan

Its probably a pain in the a*** but if you go to a local industrial distributor of 3M products they produce an abrasive wheel specifically for the removal of vehicle graphics...could find out the exact name if you want????
