3m adhesive removal wheels...put on your drill...bye buh vinyl, glue and all. just make sure the wheel hasn't been left in your truck overnight in the cold...that would be like putting an ice block on your drill...and the result would suck.

According to the weather reports, I don't think thats gonna help. Snow in Dallas?!
Thanks for reminding me, Bob. I've got to go out and get another one. Someone in my shop accidentally stepped on the plastic head and broke it last time. (I won't say who... )
I've wondered how well those eraser disks work in the cold, Karyn. Thanks!

Hi Glenn. I've done this many times, and what I do is to use a razor blade scraper, but I first dull the razor blade and round off the corners. Having done that, you can then use the scraper to get under the edge of the vinyl and remove it. Rapid Remover is then applied, as directed on their videos, and the door is cleaned off efficiently without scrapes or gouges to the paint surface. It takes some courage to attempt this method, but it does work well, without heat. Use Rapid Tac 2 for the application, again, as directed, and you should be able to finish up in a reasonable time.

actually it should be called "climate change" not global warming....while its true our polar ice is melting...it will eventually make jet stream changes and we will be having all kinds of funky weather. the earth is gonna do what it wants. its so arrogant of man to think we can actually stop it totally....our species might be due for extinction...so live it up baby!

My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

I wish I had photos of Jon Jaran's setup which sits on top of his utility truck just for this type of work. The truck has a lift which removes an air assisted balloon so to speak which fills with air from the compressor and makes a full sized shop which you can drive into. The truck also pulls a home trailer as Jon travels about. I first saw these shop units used during the winter in Canada years back but I myself have never been in a position of not owning a business without a place to work, must be a southern thing

i have one tool just like Rus's It will scrap cold vinyl faster than scraping frost of a window.
Tons better than trying to pull soft vinyl.
