thanks steve. i was having internet problems yesterday, had to re-load this website everytime i need to look back on something. the search is great. thanks for pointing it out, saved me a few hours.
i'm not really sure what happened to the year 2000. all i know is that new years eve at 12pm i asked myself, where did the year go?
at that time i made my resolution not to work like a jack-ass this year and here i am, working like a jack-ass again. sorry to be away so long, nice to hear from ya!

Mary Joe depends on the grade of reflective but a heat gun and a little chisler are the best then remove the glue with one of the evironmentally friendly citrus glue removers turns it into a jell then just wipe off but no matter which way you go it is a very agressive glue and a pain to remove 3m do make a removable reflective which we use on our police cars

ian, i'd like to hear a little more about the removeable reflective. we do about 100 police cars a year, including a lot of reflective graphics and stripes. about a dozen times a year or so, we have them come back to us after a wreck, and that reflective is one pain to remove.
btw, i use a lil chisler and rapid remover. what a mess!

I thought about an experiment which I would like to try nest time though.
Dry-apply a sheet of ordinary vinyl, either 3mil or 2mil over the reflective and then remove the whole thing with your heat gun or hair dryer. Instead of disintegrating into little pieces, perhaps it would stick to the vinyl and come off.
Would it work? Worth a try?

I apply a normal cast vinyl under reflex especailly on lease vehicles or those you know you are going to get back when its time to change....removal is really easy then.
