Of course thats ok
I went back out after dinner and took 3 more small ones off. Well almost, little bit left that needs the eraser
I think I'll get them all off by labor day and maybe buffed out by new years. This is going to take a while

THe eraser actually goes pretty fast but Id rather peel them off.
I bought 4 erasers. 2 are halfway gone. Will definitely need to order a few more. The passenger side isnt bad at all Im hoping I can peel them off. Im keeping the front and rear

Not the best pictures but these are my 2 trouble areas. Front cap and rear. As you can see the decals etch deeply into the finish. They wet sanded as much as they could and we’re afraid of going through the color coat. I can live with that for a while. Still debating paint or wrap for those areas.

Yes i have, wrapping the whole RV is around $6500 and paint wow twice three times that. I might just paint the front cap to stop the gel coat oxidation! But for now i will do nothing! Just enjoy the fact i got camping reservations at June lake.....

Wow is right that's crazy high for paint. My sister had a mobile body shop guy fix her car at the house. He did a good job. When I'm ready I might get an estimate from him
I've never been to the June loop. We've talked about it for a long time but have never gone

Hmmmm didn’t try that. But wouldn’t you fall off the ladder after too many belts.

Worked a few hours and pretty happy with what I got off. Everything off that I could reach with the step ladder. Next is the big ladder and using the decal eraser
Most likely 1 more day of work then passenger side

Ha no alcohol for me.
Still have some clean up under and on the side of the slide. Need to pull the slide out and open a couple windows. That will be the last thing to do
No work for the next two days. Babysitting the granddaughter

Drivers side done except for a couple small pieces behind the slide. I might pull the slide out tomorrow and take care of those
Also need to remove some of the old caulking to get the decal off that's under it then reseal
Also have to remove the decals on the fridge panel. I'll do it by have. The eraser wheel does do well the those doors

Paint is almost painfully more expensive; but the results make it worth considering...
It won't fade, crack, or peel; like decals.
(When done properly)

Can I ask question of whether you used any protectant on decals over last 4 years and if so at what frequency?
I have 2019 so in two years I may be like you? I am using 303 Protectant about 3 times per year thus far. The decals still look good but I know they will not last forever.
