i bought the 3m wheel but it really didnt do much for me. a little elbow action with some napa glass cleaner, or soap, and the plastic blade did the trick for me. i did my superduty that way to and they both turned out nice. acually the jeep turned out better, and its 2 years older than the ford.

I'll be sure to keep it moving.
Did the samething rip the emblems off and erased everything else. worked really good just be careful not to stay in the same spot to long.

i got a little bocket knife and scrapped them off my back windshield and it left the rubber on there... then i wet a rag down and rubben off the rubber... then wet down where it used to be and not even a single scrath on my windshield how i did mine... and the only way you can see it now is if it rains and you see where they used to be

Trees. Takes em' right off.

I was actually able to get a fingernail under one edge of the pinstripe to peel it back. You could use a razor to get under there but unless your decals are very old and weatherworn they should hold together with a consistent pull. As everyone has recommended here, heat is your friend, so use a heatgun to ease the separation. Warm wet cloth & some elbow grease will remove the residue, rubbing compound & wax to take out the differences from fading, and it'll shine like Orion's belt.

finally after 3 little bottles of goo gone and very tedious time scraping off the adhesive...we have one very satisfied jeep owner.

first 2 pics with gold pinstripes and gold emblems.

last 2 pics w/out gold pinstripes and the emblems sanded down to the bare silver finish.
