I was going to say to remove Placards ...you can spray Starting Fluid on them then light it with a cig lighter.....let it burn a little while then they scrape right off......makes a ugly black stain on the paint though.

We use a heat gun, looks just like a hair dryer and basically is. Once we heat the sticker enough, it peels right off with your fingers but watch it, it's hot stuff. To finish getting all the sticky crap off and so you see no ghost lines, we use degreaser and a rag to wipe it all off.

Many of the million milers at Werner would use Crack pipe heat to remove placards... :wink:

GooGone does a good job of getting the left behind junk off.

I swear by these things, much easier than any other method I've tried. 3M makes them, they can be ordered at NAPA.
