"EXPLORER" lettering on hood

[mkuluz]

How hard is it to take these letters off? Does it leave lots of adhesive on the paint? What's the easiest and safest way to remove them? Heat em up and pop em off??

Just slice them off with some fishing like or dental floss then remove the left over adhesive. I prefer and use a 3M Eraser Wheel because it’s done in a flash but GooGone works too...just a lot more elbow grease.

It took me an hour using goo gone.
Use the erase wheel and save the time

How's it look? I think its a much cleaner look for sure.

I’ll pull the letters on mine. No way I want to be cleaning bugs out of the lettering over the next few years.

It looks so much better off - i did this a few weeks ago using goo gone and it sucked lol - use the wheel

Hey...do you guys have pics of the before and after?

Is this the wheel you are referring too? Do you use it dry or with clay lube?

Would a heat gun help along with the wheel?

That’s it and you use it dry. O’Reilly keeps them for about the same price if you don’t wanna order and wait.

No...it’s only job is to remove stuff like this. It doesn’t need any help.

Took me 20-30 mins.
-Spray Goo-gone on letters (let it sit for maybe 1-2 mins)
-Floss the letters off with fishing line
-Use adhesive remover wheel (I use Goo-gone as lube)
-Clean

It took that long because you lubed the wheel. They’re designed to work dry...it would have taken you less than 2 minutes. lol

It won’t burn through the paint as long as you keep it moving and stay under 4000rpm. They were literally designed to work on paint, dry.

Cool, thanks. I live in Germany so unfortunately I am at the mercy of Amazon prime. 10-14 days if I order now. I’ll check the German Amazon.
