    Hi guys, thought ill share this experience with you.
    We had to remove some Reflective vinyl stripes, we had fitted the wrong way.
    Tried to peel (it was only 2 days since fitting) with no luck, and of cause we tried to heat with a heatgun, but that just broke the vinyl into tiny bits.

    As a last resort we tried a newly purchased (90 dollars) steam wallpaper remover with nozzle.

    MAN! that really worked, with alot of patience tho’
    – and the steam vaporize and leave the surface completely clean….
