Removing vinyl graphics from glass

[Grandad Gaz]

Is there an easy way to do this?

Last time I used a hair dryer, but it was painfully slow. Surely there must be a trick of the trade for this.

Thanks

Hairdryer to lift the vinyl, Stanley blade and white spirit to shift the glue.

Yep, it really is the quickest and easiest way.

^^^^^^^ What they said!

Hair dryer then white spirit!

Meths I find a lot better for glue.

Spend a quid on a window scraper (basically a handle with a stanley blade in it).
Absolute doddle to take any graphics off in minutes.
If there's any glue residue left behind, use Tardis tar & glue remover from Autosmart - it's awesome stuff. It'll save you a lot of time compared to meths or white spirit and it doesn't stink!

If you are having any more vinyl put on, make sure they use vinyl with a water based adhesive. It peels off without leaving much (if any) adhesive behind and if the expected life is only a few years it will be fine.
