Has anyone had any luck removing dried up old vinyl from a painted surface?
My 350Z has a replica Nismo stripe along the side. The blue part has faded, shrunk, and has started to flake off in a couple places recently. I went to remove the whole thing today. Normally removing automotive vinyl, you get a fingernail under a corner to start it and peel back from there. No problem. Maybe clean up a little adhesive residue after.
This blue stripe is so dried up I only get a tiny tiny piece to flake off at a time. After an hour I hadn't even gotten an inch of it off, and I have about 10 feet to do! I'm hoping there's a better way without damaging the finish beneath. If this was on glass it'd be easy... Goof Off and a razor blade.
Any ideas?
