    try using it in the correct direction / spinning / if at the top of the decal while moving to the bottom of the decal ? with the drill rotating clockwise against the decal is when it works like it should , rotating like it is lifting the decal up from the surface and not pulling it ! your welcome

    Heat it with a hair dryer for a minute, start peeling a corner then heat the decal ahead of the next bit to be removed as you pull it off. Faster.

      Michael Bradish I have used this method as well. The only thing is it usually leaves the sticky residue and the eraser wheels removes everything.

      So is it best to use a heat gun and then go behind it with the eraser wheel to remove the adhesive/glue?

    If the decal comes off easily best to use a heat gun, warm up the decal and pull it off, for the harder decals use a eraser wheel and once you get better with it you’ll have no problem. DO NOT use on plastic parts.

    I do this for a living and this is absolutely not how to remove vinyl from cars. Heat it up with a special commercial steamer or a heat gun or a hair dryer. Then use a plastic razor blade that you can find at the auto parts store to start peeling the corner of the vinyl.

    The wheel works great ! However.......try following up directly afterwards with spraying WD-40 and scrubbing it firmly........takes everything off.... and brings out the true new color !
