removing large vinyl from raw aluminum trailer

[gabagoo]

Would a high pressure washer be the best way to remove large graphics from a raw aluminum trailer?

pro's and con's?

Steam pressure washer should rip them right off. Steam is the key. Clients daughter removed the graphics off of a shop truck with one. I always laugh when I think about it. Why wouldn't you stop after the first side?

So I take it the daughter wasn't supposed to be removing the graphics? Maybe a case of "I'll be helpful and wash the truck....Oops!"?

We are finding that steam is great for removing cut vinyl and wraps alike.

I’ve used a heat gun for years with rapid remover and the steam is working better for us. Be patient and wear some good gloves. Plus make sure to charge enough to make the effort REALLY worth the time

We've done them with heat & clean any adhesive left or hot pressure washer method. That's not always feasible or available, but it works if you give it a go.
