Removing RUBICON Hood Decals

[mcdonoab]

I'm thinking about removing the RUBICON hood decals from my 10-month-old Firecracker Red Jeep. I don't expect any ghosting once they're gone, but in case there is some, would using heavy cutting cream and buffing help minimize it?

10 months is nothing. There will be no ghosting. Heat them up a bit and they peel right off. I swapped mine after 2 years and there was no ghosting or fading.

Agree. You may want to hit it with some goo gone to clean up the outline, but should be no ghosting.

"Heavy cutting cream" can make a mess out of a good paint job in a hurry. Better to start with an adhesive remover and a very mild abrasive polish with a finishing pad on an orbital buffer. If you still have a problem, consult a pro detailer. Maybe best to start with the pro detailer if your jeep is pristine.

I used a dehumidifier to warm up and loosen the decals, and they came right off. A little cleaner wax afterward, and it looks perfect. Thanks for the advice!

looks *so* much better!
not having the visual interruption of the Firecracker on that hood really improves things (IMHO), especially on that 2-door!

All you need is Sport S decals to blend in with the rest who run Rubicon fenders

Good sleeper mod, looks just like a two door Sport S now, nobody will have any idea you have a Rubicon until you show them up on the trail.

You're right I thought it looked like a Sport but it's like the Sport S.
