hairdryer

WD-40 works. If not a heat gun should do the trick. :thumbup:

Agree..!!

hairdryer but some peel off even cold if you take your time. Lift one corner with a razor and slowly pull flat against the sticker. May break but you will get it off. Goo and other removers work but need to get under but do great if adhisive is left behind...:thumbup:

Just be careful using a hair dryer on fiberglass !!! Also if you get the paint too hot it will blister the paint !!!!!

The manual actually says to use a hairdryer or heatgun on low.

I used a hair dryer which took off the majority, then used GooGone to get any remaining glue. Worked great.

WD40 saturated on a soft rag, rub rub rub (lightly), when a corner lifts slowly peel.
clean residue with WD OR GOOP OFF

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

you want to use hair dryer or heat gun & for the glue residue use rubbing alcohol it air dries & leaves no residue or smell

 

[Copperman]

I did the same.

A blow dryer and goo gone for the residue. It really looks nice with the "RT Limited" gone.

hairdryer

Wet the decal first then heat, water will help transfer heat into the decal.

FWIW, a debadging topic from a short while back. Shows how it looks and offers some other methods of removal.

Yep, warm the surface, which softens the adhesive, then pull the vinyl off and be ready to apply GooGone to remove the remaining adhesive.
BRP's adhesive always seems to stay behind on the surface. Generously apply the GooGone even letting it sit
for a min or two then rub it off with a rag. Repeat GooGone step if adhesive remains...

Hair dryer and goo gone worked like a charm, thanks for all the advice. Now my Wrap My Spyder kit has room on the bags!
