I use the heat gun

Hello, I can describe the Whizzy Wheel in three words: Avsum, Avsum, Avsum Working in the emergency services (police cars etc.) every new car we build has to be scrapped. So there are a lot of stickers, to say the least! So far I've mainly used a heat gun, a glue removal technique. Mostly successful, but LOTS of effort, LOTS of time, LOTS of rags. new car, decals were reflective. (5 years on the car too) Those of you who have ever tried removing these types of decals know that a root canal is more fun than that. After trying for about an hour and absolutely nowhere, I mean got nowhere, I looked for a better (easier) solution. That's when I came across WW. After watching a few videos on the process, I found out. It seems like my best option right now so let's try it. And now I'm going to try something! As previously mentioned, the WW requires 2000-4000 RPM to function properly. the fastest we had (850 rpm) but to no avail. Quick trip to the hardware store, found a Porter-Cable 3/8" hand drill that ran at 3000rpm and cost $63. Skeptical because the WW manual says that while reflective stickers are the hardest to remove, WW but still can get the job done takes a little extra effort one thing i noticed is that WW needs to move towards the tread I say tread because WW looks like small tire treads so once I started using it went I went in the wrong direction without much success. It would be nice to have a directional arrow) so I did about a third of the car and used the WW behind the tread and I only had a rubber wheel. It was a sticker on the reflector .WW worked really hard.Can't tell how many are ok.But I was happy!Went and ordered two more to finish the job.Then I went to another car and continued shooting sticking with a heat gun, but the glue stayed on the paint. I tried what was left on used WW and I was able to remove ALL the glue from the whole car! (Ford Expedition) And still have enough rubber on the wheel to make another one! By the way, once you get past tread wear and just remove the glue, it doesn't matter which way the wheel spins. WEAR A MASK. Protection. Solid dust! If you remove a lot of stickers, it's best to do it outdoors. You must rinse your car thoroughly. May I recommend the Whizzy Wheel? Oh yeah damn it!
