OK, I got the plastic razor blades, at West Marine, they work great.
Nothing I have tried, yet, has been able to remove the adhesive. I have heard several different stories, but has anyone found any easily avalible stuff to remove this sticky mess????
I tried all the GOO GONE stuff and the like. The only one that might work, at $30 a can, at NAPA, is 3M adhesive remover, but I would like a report, if it works or not.
Please help the stuck-up Muffin Man.
Thank you.

You just gotta let the goo-gone sit in for a couple minutes. WD-40 works too, both are a pain to clean-up but at least they get the job done.

Easy way is take it to someone that installs the mask and have them remove it. They have the heat gun and knows the correct temp to remove the mask.

coreproductsco.com has some stuff called UN-GOO, it is a petroleum based remover. It is the best I have ever seen. Works with very little elbow grease. Adhesive comes right off. It is also not really expensive.

3M Adhesive and Trim remover, available from body shop supply places. Spray on, let sit, and clean rag off. It comes in several "flavours", so talk to the counter guy for the right strenghth.

I used the plastic razor blades and 3M adhesive remover in the spray can, that I got from Walmart. It took 6-1/2 cans. The 3M stuff is citrus based and will not harm the paint, but it takes a lot of it and a lot of rubbing. There were portions on the front that I didn't think I would ever get through the thick adhesive. That was about 20% of the front at the bottom below and on the bumper. The rest the adhesive was fairly light, but still took a lot of rubbing.
WARNING:
The 3M adhesive will harm the headlight and driving light lens.
It etches into it. Once I noticed it I covered the lens with cardboard and tried not to get any spray on them. I had to use plastic polish and spent quiet a while buffing one lens to get it looking good again.

I believe that the required heat necessary to do a one piece peel off is 140f....

Certainly not an approved method, but maybe if a little gas were to spill into a rag it might work.
There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

I sure wish I didn't have it on my rig, but it's there so I'll leave it be. I've removed the name decals and such from the rig and that was a ton of work. It sure looks better without all the branding stuff along the side of the rig. If I was to remove it, I like the idea of paying someone to remove it. If it ever starts to look crappy, maybe just put a bra on the front would be cheaper.
