what are some tricks of removing like the white backgrounds that people put on the side panels.
Are you talking about on a trailer or on the side of a quad?

I'd like to know the best way to remove them from plastics (Quad).
I've always just been able to peel them off, and then go over the plastic with Goo-Gone or equivalent substance to get the sticky-ness off.

this is what i did and it worked great. I took a blow dryer or u can use a heat gun and just go over it. Came off easily and to remove the extra sticky stuff u just rub it down with some gas.

So let me get this straight. Soak my quad in gas and put a heat gun up to it, then rub it with a match?

why would u rub your quad down with gas then use a heat gun?
Gas + heat = fire

I think he meant to heat the graphics up with the heat gun, peel off the graphics, and use gas on any glue that is left behind.

Just use the heat gun to take the stickers off, then remove the left over residue with some Goo-Gone or something. I wouldn't use gas, because too volatile of a substance can cause the plastic to loose it's shine.
When I took the graphics off my R, I just used a razor blade (very carefully) to get a start then pulled them off. Then I sprayed the sticky parts with WD-40 and rubbed the nasty parts out.
One thing : Careful with the heat gun because it will melt your plastic.
