I thought you could use a 1500 watt hair dryer ??

PS I am sure that Harbor Freight carries them, if the hair drier fails ?

Anyone that owns a belt-fed weapon should know what a heat gun is.

They are generally used to help remove paint, adhesives, etc...I have a 1500 hair dryer, and it doesn't come close to my $30 heat gun...

The 3M paint erasure works well at taking off the stone gaurds. It is the rubber disk wheel that you put in a drill. Then the residue comes off with elbow grease. Just be careful and do not hit the textured paint on the rocker it takes it off quickly too.

Which is better? Or is a matter of taste ?
I guess I'll just have to buy yet another toy :-)

The 3M Eraser works quickly, BUT it is a PIA to remove all the residue. I was thinking about leaving them off, but I already bought new stoneguards, and I prefer to keep the car original, and they do seem to do the job.

I used a wimpy hair dryer and a plastic scraper to get the plastic off. Then used lots of Goo-B-Gone and a pink eraser to get the glue off the body. It's a pain...

Two years and counting, no guards, no chips. I have the guards, brand new, in a box somewhere, just don't like the looks of them. I drive dirt roads with disregard, and the City is back to Winter gravel vs Salt. Never planned on making mine a show car, just a good driver, I think trying to do both will give you ulcers.

I replaced my stone guards 2 years ago. They're full of scrapes and blemishes.

IMO they're worth it.

I have done this twice. I found this stuff to be much better (and cheaper) than Goo-B-Gone. Purchased it a NAPA. I would put a layer on the SG before using the heat gun to loosed it up (let it sit a few minutes). Then use it again to remove residue.

good info ... I bought that stuff in a spray can a while back
So now all I have to do is buy the stone guards

I'll bet the OP has replaced them twice since posting!

FWIW, after a long drive my guards have evidence of debris strikes.

Crazy Eddie

LOL
I think he sold the car a few yrs ago ....
