We may get the job of removing a big wrap from a trailer over 40' long, possible two trailers.
Is there any information that would be helpful?

Wallpaper steamer.

Just removed one that had been on so long it was cracked all over. It was easily compared to any other way I've used to remove vinyl.

Wagner makes a $50 one that works great

Craig,
What type of vehicle was it and how long did it take to get it completely clean? Thanks.

Bill, may I suggest 2 bottles of 12yr single malt scotch. Theat's the best for removing any vinyl.
Unlike vodka, you don't use the scotch on the trailers.

Thank you Craig, that is great advice. It is no time for experimenting. There is no place like Letterville, and the help in priceless.
Rodger,your advise is great for a drinker, after 2 bottles, who cares?

The way I see it, the easiest way to remove it is to make sure it is insured, then have someone steal it.

I've always wondered if the cost of removal is more than having it installed.

Jean it was a 12 ft trailer.
Poor paint job cause some came off no matter how careful.
Cause I had remove vinyl on another one day before same cracking no damage just testing.

Anyway 6 hrs from house, removed vinyl, used Rapid remover for glue, check in hand on my way.

Allow more time for more cracking.
