Anyone know how to remove decals from a van? Easy way, there is a lot of lettering.

A hair drier and a plastic putty knife. Warm it up and peel it off.

or.....assuming you live somewhere where it gets cold, wait for a real bitter cold night and pressure wash them off. They flake right off. And then you remove the glue thats left behind with WD-40. Worked for me.

Carb cleaner works great with a razor style paint scraper. After all its designed for cleaning gummy deposits so why not.

Mineral Spirits works great. I have never used it personally because I never sem to have any when I want some so have used and had great luck with brake cleaner. I have also used razor blades, just be careful not to cut your paint.

Boil water, pour it over the decals and peel off.

Lets have a contest: Everyone go out and test their theory as to what works best for the money. Just don't test on my truck :D
