Default Graphic Removal

Any suggestions on removing old pro-mark graphics from a clear coated surface, without sand paper. Rubbing alcohol works, but it takes alot of "RUBBING". Looking for any other ideas.

Thanks,

Jed

I would try 'Varsol", a paint remover and then MEK if you can get it. I found it removes just about anything I didn't want removed. Powerful suff!

3M makes a product called, Cleaner Adhesive remover. Safe for clear coat

Part #8984, quart can or #8987 spray can. Get it at a store that sells automotive refinishing products.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen, I had some MEK sitting around, worked great! The decal melted, the plane melted, and my liver melted[:'(] . It didn't mess with the clear coat, and at least I only had one stars and bars to remove.

Thanks,

Jed
