How to remove old vinyl?

[Auto-Graphs]

Hello Everyone, I recently received a job replacing the business logos on some stainless tankers and was wondering if anyone had any good tips on how to remove the old logos. The old stuff is cracked and worn. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks................Auto-Graphs.

You may want to do a search through past threads. This is a topic that's been discussed a time or two.

I make my cat lick 'em.
That nice scratchy tongue of hers works real well.

No, I really use heat form a hair dryer (heat gun is too hot) and a L'il Chizler.
Get rid of the glue residue with Rapid Remover.
Then clean with Rapid Prep.
I have also heard of folks using a wallpaper steamer but never have tried it myself.
Best way is to tell the client you charge $50/hour to remove old vynull. They will usually get a minimum wage employee of their own to do it for you.
Love....Jill

Understand.....do a search. Will do. Thanks for the hair dryer tip I was planing to try my heat gun so I'll have to steel my daughters HD. So what is the going price for the MBX Zapper?
