      Looks like one of my friends old surfboards. Got a crack? Sticker stops the water from getting in just fine hahaha

        Yeah a sticker is more ghetto than solarez. I'm gonna try a couple things today. Gonna start with the one by gas flap that looks easiest

          Easiest way to get rid of the stickers by far is by selling me the car lol. Trust me you'll thank me in the long run haha

            I haven't personally used these wheels, but I've seen it done and it was impressive. The art eraser wheels I think are for the residual glue that is left after peeling off the stickers. I think you might want the wheel that takes the sticker off first. Something like Link: http://amzn.com/B00HZ4ABKS

              I'd keep them and get the matching tribal tramp-stamp tattoo... no better way to bond with your car! ;)


              I wouldn't use an Eraser Wheel.
              I used them when installing vehicle wraps/cut graphics onto cars.
              If you're not careful, you will burn through the paint.
              Below the radar...

                I would get a tribal arm band but the 90's ended. Which wheel did you use? I picked up a 3m one for $30. Did you use that one or a cheap one and what kind of drill. I can adjust the rpm and torque on mine so i'm sure i can find a setting that works

                  Eraser wheel for sure. I have a 3m and use a 18v milwaukee drill.

                    1. start by removing the xenophobia from the heart of the vehicle's driver.
                    2. pick an edge and work a tiny piece up
                    3. get heat gun and carefully heat adhesive
                    4. peel as able.
                    5. get an adhesive remover to deal with the remnants.

                      worked at a vinyl sign shop for a long time... we always used rubbing alcohol, heat guns, orange peel, exacto knifes and patience

                        That 3m wheel worked. The paint on the car wasn't the best to begin with so it scuffed it a little but took most of the stickers off. A few are stuck for good until i repaint they were caked on.
