Anyone who looks through photos of nose jobs in a catalogue of plastic surgery whilst driving deserves disciplining ;D

I believe WD40 gets the residual glue of van paintwork after removing letters quite easily
I'm always in the poo, it's just the depth that varies

Have just finished removing vinyl lettering from a long wheelbase transit (trust me there was alot of sign writing on it).  I used Brake & Clutch cleaner on the glue.  This has not caused any damage to the paint work at all.  Much easier than tar remover, meths so on & so on.

I used a hairdryer to heat the viynal came straight off then i used some Oil Flo 141 great on windows to remove stickers
Oil Flo 141

    Safety solvent cleaner.  Dissolves a whole host of hard to get rid of stains and marks like crayon, gum, tar, wax, inks, oil, tape residue etc

I also had to remove a load of vinyl lettering off my van, firstl used the heatgun and most peeled off, the residue i then removed with a rag dipped in petrol, all came off a treat.

I would certainly not use celluose thinners espcially if your van actually has any paint, as this is what car body repair specialists use to remove paint, it will strip the paint away in a second.

Petrol will take it off, and then use a little bit of brasso to remove the outline of the lettering that was there so its not so obvious it was there, or a good coat of t-cut, just remember not to put polish on until you have put the new vinyl on or it wont stick, it will also need a good few days to complety bond to the metal

HG sticker remover can be used to remove sticker & glue, always best to t-cut your van as the outline will show up and then wash & wax 8)
