Thought I'd send this to the list as some others might find it useful too. I
saved the info posted by someone else:
3M Roloc Tool
3M Woodgrain & Stripe Remover + Adhesive Remover
3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover

If I remember, the Roloc Tool attaches to a drill and sort of "scrubs" the
decal off after the remover has been applied, without messing the paint
surface up.

Subject: Decal remover

My 87 Syncro decals (not the Syncro 0r 4X4 decals) on the side of my van
would be better off removed. They are old and crusty. Does anyone have any
suggestions for remover, 3M or otherwise. After removal I plan on buffing
heavily to try to get it to match paint if it is faded.

Pmail me back I am in vacation mode right now.
