I got rid of part of one of the stripes. Baked on and cracked sooo hard!

I used a heat gun and a plastic scraper to mush it all up, then a caramel wheel on a drill to strip the rest off.

It is a bit of a nightmare of a job and my caramel wheel it wearing down pretty fast.

Anyone else had easier success?

I've not had to (mainly as it doesn't seem to have any strips), but my mechanic friend always uses a kettle of boiling water to soften stickers with.

I took mine off with a pressure washer but it left all the glue on the van. So one side has no more stripes, but a messy, sticky patch all along. THe other side still has the strips - not going to try that again. I'll try the heat processes suggested above sometime.

I found acetone worked well for removing the glue. I expect a bit of thinner would do the same
