I think a hair dryer, if needed use the paint scraper but use the plastic blades ( not the razor blades they typically come with)Plastic razor blades is what dealers use , you can get them at Home Depot.

I agree with you. Can you believe all those complicated responses to a simple problem. Just go to the courthouse in Bushnell. Bring a bunch of money and the OP can have their names changed in about 6 months. No need for hair dryers or adhesive removers. Duh so simple. Can’t believe only you and me came up with the best solution.

Default Name decals

[MOST names on carts are vinyl graphic tape. Use a hairdryer to loosen them then they peel off very easy. This works on all the pinstripes, as well a team logos, you name it.

=Rbeattie;1855278]I recently bought a used cart. Obviously, our names are not the same as the previous owner. The Villages garage will NOT remove the old names because of potential damage. Buying used carts and changing names isn't new. How have others done this?[/QUOTE]

After using the hair dryer method to remove our names before selling a cart. I then used a little rubbing compound on the areas and it helped with that problem.

These are decals and will soften when a little heat is applied. Sometimes, just leaving it in the sun will soften it enough to be peeled off with your fingernails.

You can get new decals made at almost any golf cart shop. I got mine at Market at Marion - just happened to walk by a shop that made them while you wait.

Ask your car service center what they use. I always have any decals taken off when I buy a new car (I refuse to advertise for a dealer) and there is never a mark. Have done this for my last 3 new cars without a problem.

We bought a used one that had decal names (originally from The Villages Golf Cars). They peeled off with my fingernails, but it took some time to do it. There was no damage to the golf cart.

Another vote for a hair dryer, Also at auto paint stores they sell spray can of stuff that body shops use to take mounding, emblems etc off with no paint damage

Use a hair dryer on the low heat setting. It softens the material and makes it easier to remove. Also a plastic scraper will help.
Keep moving the hair dryer so it doesn’t affect the paint.

PS: NEVER USE A PAINT REMOVAL HEAT GUN !!!!!!!
