Abstract
Vinyl decals are removed from a painted surface by contacting the decal with a composition consisting essentially of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and one or more of the following aromatic solvents: toluene, xylene and aromatic naphtha. The composition may optionally contain ethylene glycol monoethyl ether or a thickener. The composition remains in contact with the decal for a time sufficient to loosen the decal from the surface and then the decal is physically pulled from the surface.
