Default Removing names off golf cart

Is there a way to safely remove names off a golf cart? Sold the cart and the people who bought it don't have the same names as my wife and I

The guy at TV cart shop said to use a hair dryer.

The letters peel off well with a hairdryer to heat the glue first. Then use Goof Off to remove the remaining adhesive.

You may also find the paint to be faded and the names will remain after anyway..... That is what happened on ours.........

I used finger nails, and a little heat, then the goo be gone. As stated, you will probably have an outline of your names on the cart, as the paint below the decals was protected.

I agree with previous poster, let the buyer take these off just in case something happens.....

Yep that's the easiest way for sure work the hair dryer on low to med heat.

Using a car type paste wax like Turtle Wax over the whole front of the cart might decrease the residual shadows.
