I hate vinyl

That is exactly why quality base coat clear coat was invented. My 17 year old
original paint looks new. I feel for you.
It is also why we own BB's because SOB's have vinyl graphics, most of them are
cracking, and the body has spider feet.

I got out my heat gun and my new vinyl eraser wheel on my drill
today. I managed to clean off about three feet of four inch wide,
prehistoric, dried, cracked vinyl before the wheel was pretty much
worn down. At 19.95 per wheel I think it would be cheaper to hire
someone, and much easier on my arms. Let's see..33 foot bus, both
sides, top and bottom, that's 132 feet, plus another 8 for the back,
divided by 3, multiplied by 19.95, that's $931.00.
It is in too rough of a condition to just put new vinyl over it.
Maybe I will just wait till I am ready to have it painted and have
them media blast it all off. I will admit, however that it worked
faster on the parts that were not cracked and faded.
