FINALLY! I got a chance to spend the time and pull the decals. One word: EASY!


Trick I found...

As you get a little corner started, and as you go... If you apply hair-dryer heat to it, it makes it brittle, which makes it break on you. Trick is to heat up the next section rather than directly on what you just pulled, as you go. And go slow and be patient.. delicately working the decal off in as few pieces is I think quicker than having to restart corners after it breaks.

Results: CLEEEEEEEAN! Very clean look... A little goo-gone, a little alcohol and then some wax over the area, and she turned out gorgeous. We use the cloth baby diapers for rags of all kinds... works great for cleaning off the adhesive.. gentle pressure and let the goo-gone work in and do it's job.

I say if you're thinking about it with a new Si... don't wait.
