I use a hair dryer to warm up decals and glue , then they peel off w/o much residue left if pulled off slowly , YMMV I'm thinking extremes of hot or cold temps will make it hard to get decals off and wither or not the glue comes off w sticker or stays on plastic part ???? rj

Now part of the Zippo line. Only Zippo fluid, no Ronsonol.

I concur. I think that's what started this mess to begin with. It was a scorching hot day when I went to remove them. I figured "hot enough". Should come right off, right?

As I started to peel, I saw that the glue wasn't coming with it. I got out the heat gun and started in a different spot, no difference. Then I thought maybe it was too hot...so I grabbed some ice and a baggy. Tried that on a section...no good.

Anyway, for whatever reason, I lost that battle badly. It made me jealous to think about all the nice RX3's running around today "de-speeded". ;-)
