Old sticker Removal

Cobra69 · 01-14-2009, 08:33 AM

Ok, so I have read on how to install the decals......No problem there. My questions is how do you get the OLD decals off without damaging the paint underneath? Mine have been on since the factory.

a lil heat and i also used a canadian sticker remover that was at my local parts store to loosen up the sticker itself, as well as remove the leftover residue. that is the only good thing to come out of canada by the way

So I should use my heat gun and a adhesive remover. makes sense.

lsocoee · 01-14-2009, 09:08 AM

I've had good luck with WD-40.

Delmarva · 01-14-2009, 09:25 AM

get some goo gone... and NOT GOOF OFF...

Cobra69 · 01-14-2009, 09:36 AM

Yeah I have two bottles of goo gone+heat gun should make short work of it.

m_yota · 02-07-2009, 11:30 PM

I did my debadging on a hot day with 40# fishing line and some adhesive remover. To remove the rest of the junk I polished with a wac cleaner. BAM good as new.

Today i used a Razor, and some Goo Gone... Worked great! Just be real careful and delicate with the razor

You can get plastic razor blades at home depot...thats what I used along with goo gone. Then I used some Meguiars Paint Cleaner and then waxed the hell outta it

Looks great!

fishing line worked really well except i used 8# so i kept braking and i didnt need a heat gun and the emblems wernt that warm and goo gone got all the sticky off

hes not talking about the emblems bud, he wants the TRD decal. I used a blow dryer and some goo gone worker great.

Rattler · 08-11-2009, 03:51 AM

The best and easiest way is to go with 3M's decal remover spray followed by the decal adhesive remover spray. They aren't chepa but work great. Maybe even try one of their eraser wheels you mount on a drill or air grinder.

No, I don't work for 3M but have learned over the years their products WORK and work well.

I just took mine off last week, i just peeled it of during the day it was only about 98 degrees outside and it peeled right off. Then i used some ronsonal lighter fluid to break up the left over adhesive. Then wash it with soapy water and re waxed.

96 tacomaPtown · 08-29-2009, 12:01 AM

i used a rubber eraser decal/sticker remover you put it on the end of a corded drill; battery would eventually run out of power, it takes a little while but doesnt hurt the paint at all. i used one for both sides and still had alot left, got mine at baxters auto parts for around 12 dollars.

militaco · 08-30-2009, 01:41 AM

used my fingernail and it came right off......but maybe because is so damn humid in Hawaii

When I decided to no longer be a part of the Toyota Racing Development team, I removed the decals on a hot Texas day (hot=108 degrees) by gently pulling them right off. I used Meguiar's Scratch X on a cloth rag to remove the sticky residue. I washed it with soap and water and the black paint looked perfect.
