4x4 Decal Removal

[mjonesjr84]

I'm thinking about removing the 4x4 decal off the bed of my 2020 RST. Is it just a standard decal that a blow dryer will help come off?

Should be! Used a heat gun on my 16 to remove! Don’t see it being any different!

Did you have any issue with residue left on the bedside?

Honestly can’t remember if I did or not! Been so long! If I did prob used some goo gone! Works like a charm

Hair dryer/heat gun, fishing line and 3m adhesive remover is all you need to safely remove all you emblems.

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It looks much better now with the other lettering on the side of the truck ("company" vehicle).

 

Thanks for the help.

Hair Dryer works great.  Don't need to get the decals very hot especially on a new truck.  Amazon sells 3M and off brands of adhesive removal wheels for drills, basically a big pencil eraser.  They are hard to first use if its your first time as it seems so wrong to aggressively apply a gummy wheel to your brand new vehicle but they don't damage the clear coat and make the removal easy and fast. 

 

Once the majority of the adhesive is erased I'll use goo gone or alcohol to remove the last small areas of residue.  If you only use goo gone without the eraser wheel make sure the rag is very clean.  Hard rubbing with a contaminated rag will scratch the clear coat.   

 

I did a complete decal and de-badge of my truck and it took right about an hour.  There were duramax, Z71, and LT badges all over the vehicle.
