Heat Gun and a Scraper to remove the bulk of the funk. I used WD40 to take off the horrible funk that the Fighters History art left behind on my Z-Back. Aircraft Paint Remover should also nuke the adhesive in short order. Just work with it OUTSIDE or in really well ventilated areas. |

I use paint reducer... Saturate a rag, and wipe it on ( Start at the top) And with the other hand wipe it dry with a clean rag (Quickly) Work your way to the bottom in this fashion, Get wet, wipe dry... It wont come off in the first pass, but about the 3rd time the glue will start to let go. And then will wipe clean... Use reducer, not thinner. thinner is to harsh and may affect your finish. |

I believe I also used GooGone ,to remove massive amounts of glue residue from Mylar I removed (via freeze spray method) from a Pinball Playfield. It took like 3 passes worth of effort to get it all off. But I didnt dare use anything too harsh, as didnt want to effect the Artwork on the field. |

Goo Gone will get rid of any adhesives and leave paint alone. Heat gun, if you have one, or a hair dryer and some elbow grease to get the vinyl off, but some adhesive will remain. Goo Gone takes care of that in a jiffy. If you're not in the US, eucalyptus oil will clean the adhesive off, as well. |

I find goo gone takes a lot to work. If the goop is real thick, I prefer a heat gun and a firm scraper like a putty knife with a sharpened edge. Than something like goo gone to remove the lighter sticky crap |
