I wanted to know if anyone could tell me an easy way to remove the factory stickers from the side panels? I tried heat, but it didn't seem to help.

Thanks for any help,
Al

I have a Wagner heat gun, It works excellent. Just don't leave it in one place for very long, keep it moving.
I've always heard lighter fluid or WD-40 is supposed to work, but the heat gun works a lot better.

Use the heat gun, then clean the plastic with some contact cleaner.

A pressure washer works real well (especially when you do not intend for the graphics to come off).

Yeah, a pressure washer. I should have thought of that. I've seen that start to happen when washing up after a ride.

Thanks Everyone

"Sticker Off" works ok, but I have always had good luck with lighter fluid & WD40. Acetone will melt the sticker off of metal parts but is a messy clean up.
