Is there anything else that will remove the glue from the decals? Preferably a household item. Just dont feel like buying this stuff a little tight right now. I tried brake cleaner but didnt work

Rubbing alcohol should also do the trick if you have any of that laying around

Varsol or mineral spirits. Whatever you use just remember to wax afterwards

What did you use to remove the decals? Did you need to use a heat gun? Did you just use a fingernail to lift and peel it off or did you need to use razor blades?
