Glue

[Ace]

A while back was looking for a trailer that I could use for kart racing. Well I traded my stacker for a nice 8x20 and $$$ that is fully equipped for my needs. The problem I have is, its got a vinyl wrap on both sides, well one side now after Susan and I worked 3 partial days removing it. I/we are dreading the other side for obvious reasons. The vinyl came right off but the residual glue was/is a bitch! Does anyone have a better and quicker way of removing this crap they call glue?
I have tried the following:

Sanding = gums up
Wd-40 = works but very slow
Scraper = needed for whatever you use
Goop off = waste of time
Sticker b gone = waste of more time
Prep all = (body shop recommended) junk
Easy off = didnt even touch it
Gas = works the best but you have to scrape and rub like hell

Anything else.... ANYONE!!!!

Not worried about the paint as its going to be painted anyway!

my guess is it's oil based....... how about keroseen or even baby oil....... Im surprised the easy-off didnt work, did you try spraying it with easy off and then wrapping it with plastic to let the easy off work longer?

I just went through that,, acetone will wipe it right off,, if you need stronger, then MEK.>>>Dan

I second the acetone! It takes a little work, but it does a good job. We have been using it since a sign man suggested it!

Most of the time I use acetone and there is another one, Xyol or something like that?  Wear a respirator.

think about blasting it if your going to paint it anyway?/ or sanding.      Might be less expensive in long run.

Really getting into the area of nasties.  Do use a respirator.  Another one you could try is lacquer thinner.

Forgot that I did try lacquer thinner and xylene (sp) both didnt work. Didnt try acetone so thats next!

Ace,
I've used acetone on every bus we've bought to remove the old lettering and get it ready to be re-lettered. It's not instant and requires some work but if you wipe it on heavy with a WET rag and them rub with the same rag after letting it soak for a minute it does work better than anything I tried before. (and I pretty much tried the same list of things you have!)

Try some goof off, (not the same as goop off) its awesome.   Will remove paint form close that have been on the for a long time!

Acetone the way BK described and it will take more of it than you think.

Not sure it will work but may be worth a shot.  If you have a truck wash near you, see if they can do an acid wash on it for you.  I do not know if it will cut the glue...But I do know it will cut all the other junk off of it.   Good luck.

Diesel works.  Spray it on, let it sit a while then its fairly easy to scrape it off.  Not a fun job by any means.

Klean/Strip EAD 908 will do the job for you cost 12 bucks a can, CRC has a product also but I never tried it 908 is a aircraft product fwiw

good luck

This is the best stuff I have found.  Available at automotive paint and bodyshop suppliers.

They have a partner product that takes off the vinyl itself.
