Decal removal, anyone use one of these?

[tuscarora dave]

I just did a decal removal job on a bus with a heat gun and plastic razor blades. Not only did I yield less than favorable results but It took way longer than I anticipated. In my search for a better way I came across this MontiPower MBX Vinyl zapper tool and wondered if anyone here has ever used one and can speak of it's performance.

Additionally, if anyone here has Ideas on how to attach something like that wheel to a rotary polisher I wouldn't be against a little experimentation. Thanks

Another vote for the 3m wheel

If this did work I would buy one in a heartbeat. I remove decals on box trucks at least once or twice a month, usually using the same method you did...heat gun and plastic blade followed by harsh chemicals to remove the glue left over. I've got a 3M wheel but really don't care for it since my drill isn't variable speed.

Be very careful with heat on the paint, you can yellow the clear if it gets to hot

Try 3m adhesive remover

My lettering graphics guy uses the same wheel that Dave has posted. It makes short work of removing graphics and lettering jobs.:bigups:bigups:bigups

Not one worry on paint marring after the wheel does its work, it still leaves some glue residue after that will have to be removed...
