Remove vinyl decals

Q: How do you remove vinyl decals from windows?

A: If the vinyl decals are on the OUTSIDE of the window, it is relatively easy to remove. To remove them, first try heating them with a hair dryer and peeling them off. This will often work, and is the fastest, cleanest method to remove vinyl decals. If this fails, then use a single-edge razor blade to carefully lift a part of the outer edge of the vinyl decal. Now again try to peel it (slowly but steadily) away. As a last resort, use the razor blade to completely remove the vinyl decal and then use Goo-Gone to remove the remnant adhesives. Finish with a good window cleaning using white vinegar and water (1:4 parts). NOTE: If the vinyl decals are on the INSIDE of the window, and you have defroster wires on the window – then you should take your vehicle to a window tint installer and have the vinyl decals removed.
