Does anyone have a suggestion as to removing a AAA Decal on the rear bumper on my 1971 Cutlass Supreme.

 

When we bought the Silver Bullet from the farmer, he had his annual insurance decal across the front bumper, one for evey year!!!! I used a heat gun (hair dryer should work) directly on the decal and as it loosened, used fingernail/razor blace to life what would come off. Then used WD40 on what was left, and rubber it off. Worked great!

 

That's the way I do it too. If you don't have WD40 you can use GooGone.

 

X2 Googone

 

I have found that soap impregnated steel wool pads work well too...the soap acts as a lubricant and prevents the wool from leaving any fine sratches in the chrome. Works well for light rust removal as well.

 

Denatured alcohol is a good solvent to use on the sticky substance that stickers and decals leave. It also evaporates clean leaving no residue.

 

GooGone is good stuff.

 

Thanks all for your help

 

On a chrome bumper, just use lacquer thinner to remove the residual adhesive.

 

It's great stuff for all kinds of purposes related to oldses.

I used some two nights ago to get the factory sound deadening stuff and related oily cr*p out of my 66 98 convertible trunk.

Strong though, use gloves.

Maybe polish up the bumper with a little #0000 steel wool for polishing.

 

X2 cleans like nothing else.

 

Warm up the sticker if it is a foil type of sticker with low temp burnz-a-matic or heat gun, loosen up edges with non sharp edged Putty Knife. After sticker is removed ask wife or girlfriend for a little finger nail polish remover or a small amount of acetone which is what finger nail polish remover is, and wipe the glue off in a circular motion 'till it all ***** up.

 

Our Volunteer Fire Dept converted a "potato chip" delivery van to a rescue unit. It was almost totally wrapped in decal material. Steam cleaner blasted it all off easily--film, goo and everything. Just FYI. :-)
