What do you use to clean bare mill-finish aluminum(on a horse trailer)to remove the adhesive left behind from vinyl? I already tried Unglue(citrus based) and GlueOff.

What do you use to remove or polish out the ghost where the vinyl was on bare aluminum?
Thanks

Acid wash at a truck stop or a mobile wash service, after using Rapid Remover. That works for me.

We recently did one and after using the rapid remover we used some polishing compound to remove the ghost.

The client said he had been using an acid wash of some type on it and there were ghosts from two previous "stickerjobs" still shinin'on it. Possibly because the vinyl adhesive residue hadn't been removed by the previous vinyl installer. I don't know.

Rick,do you remember what brand/type of polish that was?

Thanks everyone!

I'v use "light duty" compound (body shop supplies)

The ghost is probably not adhesive, just a discoloring or oxidised surface, it will polish out.
