Well ive got a good start on removing the graphics on the toon. I took the power washer and blew the old stickers off, now I'm stuck with the sticky residue!! I've tried everything to get it off and the only thing that works is ac coil cleaner.....do any of you guys have any tips?????? Once there all removed I'm going to sand till smooth then prime and paint! I'm wanting to get it done asap because my new double bimini and wall mount led nav lights I ordered are in!!!

WD 40 works
or 3m makes a adhesive remover or your wife probaly has the goo be gone in the house

Thanks Tooncrazy, I've been scrubbing like crazy trying to get that stuff off!!!!!I'm extremely anxious to get the new bimini on....I'll take pics tomorrow of the process!

gasoline on a rag works too

I would refrain from the a/c coil cleaner, as I believe most of them are muriatic acid solutions.

WD 40, 3m adhesive remover and goo be gone do the job. Gasoline might work, but is also very dangerous to use. You might try a little less dangerous charcoal lighter fluid--commonly used to clean vinyl floor mastic off flooring during installation.

One of these should work.

I use Googone from walmart

i would not use todays gasoline it will dry out the vinyl so bad it will crack open in a years time

Try Skin-so-soft from Avon. My wife uses it to get adhesive off stuff and it works great on squeaky spots on the dock.

ditto for wd40.

he was asking what to use to remove the glue residue left behind.

Double ditto on WD-40. The real Cat's Meow!

Triple-ditto on WD-40 to remove glue residue.

Before

After removing sticky stuff and sanding smooth

After masking off the rails

After a few coats of primer

Now some red paint to match the tow truck

Another shot

I'm really happy with the way it turned out! I love the coler red and now it matches the truck
