heat is the only way, but shouldnt takew that long with heat gun etc if your v carefull, the glue residue left behind is the worst but, i use panel wipe which is a painters trade degreaser, also watch incase its been painted b4 and some wassoks masked the sticker and painted around it

i always found that petrol removes the old glue very well

Follow these steps.....

1. Use hairdryer to soften the sticker
2. Remove while soft
3. Use brake-cleaner or similar solvent to remove the glue residue
4. Use good polish after to make it look spangly
5. Learn to type in English

Would say heat, but if it's 23 years old then it may well be past that stage. I've had some stickers that (when really old) even heat doesn't work on.

I think its '3M' that make a 'wheel' that goes into a drill that is made from a special compound of some sort that will remove the vinyl if heat fails. It's a bit like a 'rubber'.

Of course it's risky and you mustn't let the heat build up too much.

Ginge !

heat will work, but yourstill gonna see it anyway as the paint will have faded in the UV over 23 years

i would start with no. 5 first

I removed some very old vinyl of a panel the other month, heat was the only way, even then it was bit by bit and took a long time.

Dont do as my friend did and peel the MG sticker off his maestro with a . . . . ? ?, screwdriver ffs.He was amazed what a kettle full of hot water did.

Eraser wheels, also known as Toffee Wheels due to the smell is what you would be thinking of there Christian. They work well, especially on this sort of thing.

I normally use mine in a 12V DeWalt cordless drill and works fine.
