The true "kicker" is the rubber "eraser" disc that attaches to a drill (cordless is best). Made by 3M but there are other mfgrs. When I asked at a paint store they seemed to know what I was talking about before I got the words out. It basically erases the decal or pin striping by heating it up and rubbing it off. No paint damage. I used it to take the Westfalia and Syncro decals off mine. Bob |
