Hi,

I am new to this board. I have been lurking for a while and just picked up a new leftover 08 Outlander Max XT. It is Camo and I don't like all the stickers on the machine.

Have any of you had experience with removing the stickers from a Camo Outty? I was tempted to try the hair dryer and peel it carefully trick, but I am unsure as to how durable the camo is. Anybody tried it?

i removed all the horrible looking warning stickers with my pressure washer. what the pressure washer didnt take off, i peeled of while cold. i found if i warmed the sticker up first, the adhesive would stay on the atv and not come of with the sticker. It made for messy clean up.

When removing the stickers cold, remember to peel fast like a bandaide .. faster the better.

Good luck.

I took all mine off with a hair dryer just don't get too hot. Some left a little glue but just used a cleaner and off it comes.

WD40 works pretty good for removing the adhesive also. I removed all of mine with a blow dryer and peeled them off. Then sprayed the area with WD40, let it soak and cleaned off the remaining adhesive.

I removed all of my warning stickers by just peeling them off...............no residue or nothing left behind............try that first before you decide to buy some miracle goo remover that does not even work....:2cent:

Camo on mine. Took my stickers off with a heat gun - just stayed careful with not getting too close. It left a slight glue residue that I remived with goof-off. No damage to the camo finish at all.
