Thought I'd send this to the list as some others might find it useful too. I saved the info posted by someone else: 3M Roloc Tool 3M Woodgrain & Stripe Remover + Adhesive Remover 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover If I remember, the Roloc Tool attaches to a drill and sort of "scrubs" the decal off after the remover has been applied, without messing the paint surface up.

My 87 Syncro decals (not the Syncro 0r 4X4 decals) on the side of my van would be better off removed. They are old and crusty. Does anyone have any suggestions for remover, 3M or otherwise. After removal I plan on buffing heavily to try to get it to match paint if it is faded. Pmail me back I am in vacation mode right now.
