Get Removable Vehicle Graphics: Fast to Install, Even Faster to Remove
A vehicle decal is a piece of self-adhesive vinyl that’s installed on the bodywork of vehicles to change the look or help promote a business. If you’re nervous about the result, remember that vinyl wrap is as quick to remove as it is to install, and once removed, it leaves no lasting marks on the paintwork. If you’re interested in installing removable car decals, call us at 773-455-0467 or 312-212-0493 to book your appointment.

How to remove car decals?
Car decals are swiftly removed by professionals by applying the correct amount of heat to the vinyl film. Heat is applied by either pouring warm water over the vinyl wrap or by using a heat gun. Once the adhesive has been softened, it’s possible to slowly and carefully peel back the vinyl wrap.
It is possible to remove vinyl wrap yourself but it’s a time-consuming and fiddly job that is probably best left to the experts.
Vehicle types for semi-permanent stickers
Removable vinyl for vehicle windows
Legally, a vinyl wrap can only be applied to the rear windshield and rear back windows of a vehicle. If you’re looking to cover a large surface area of these windows, then it’s best to apply perforated vinyl, rather than opaque vinyl. Perforated vinyl contains hundreds of tiny, unprinted holes that allow the driver to see out, but still, create a full image on the outside.

The longevity of vehicle graphics depends on the quality of vinyl used in the first place. Brands like 3M and Avery Dennison make extremely durable vinyl that can last anywhere between 5 and 7 years, before showing signs of wear and tear.
Removable vehicle graphics aren’t reusable. Once they’ve been removed from the window or paintwork of a vehicle, the self-adhesive glue on the back of the sticker is no longer strong enough to form a bond with another object.
