I have a small enclosed trailer that I am trying to get the old stickers off. They are stripes that run around the trailer and they are kinda dry-rotted. Do you think if i heated them up a lil they will come off easier? These things are being a booger. What else do you guys suggest?

usually acetone works, other than that maybe try soapy water?:ermm:

heat it up and peel it off then rub the extra sticky stuff off with some gas.

dont use gas on your car to rub the stuff offf, it will dull the crap out of your clear coat......i used this stuff called oops....in a little tin can, works awesome...

USe 3M's Strip off wheel (rubber wheel you put in a dril get at any Napa store) then rubbing compound, then wax it andit should look like Brand spanking new,

Just be careful when using the wheel and rubbing compound that you don't burn through the paint, just keep moving around.

What ever you do don't use acetone! Acetone is one of the major components of most automotive paints and it will take the paint off!

Be careful with goo gone or whatever. i used it with no gloves and my hands where in the worst pain for about two weeks. also im in the same situation with the stickers on my enclosed. i tried simple green and it comes off just takes some scrubbing.
