Thanks Alan, I'll check those out.
I've done this 7 times prior and never had this hard of a time. I decided every flake of vinyl I can save is going into a bag, to be returned to the owner... lol

When I took mine off, I used a hair dryer. After I got all the vinyl off I used xylol. Did my RV a month or so ago, I used the hair dryer and a rubber vinyl eraser wheel. Honestly, the wheel was probably the best option I've found so far.

Hah, that's where I moved from when I came over to this side of town. I was actually going to go to the last meet up, but it was still a little messy out and my car was terribly dirty so I skipped it. I'll see if I can make this one. I think I know about half the people that work at My Place anyway.

Good luck with that stripe job. That looks horrible and reminds me why I'll stick to detailing my own car only, haha.

Thanks. It does look sharp. Looks better in person since black wheels don't photograph well. Well, at least not with a phone camera. I'm sure you'll be seeing it soon.

I will pass on the message Steve. And yes, I will definitely go back to Eric's if I ever need body work again.

Trinity is sooooo cute.

So that is how you fund all these mods, you have figured out how to capture a leprechaun. Better than playing the lottery.
