Vinyl letter removal and replacement

The Storage Units

A while back we were asked to come and bid on @300 storage units the customer was in need of replacing the old sun-baked letters. Some of the letters were cracked dried and falling apart other were starting to chalk up and loose there color and shine. The instructions called for power washing to remove of the old vinyl letters. We went in to put in a bid on the power washing but due to the construction and the letters them selves told them power washing was out of the picture. Pressurized water had a very good chance of getting into the units under the roofing panels. Then just cleaning the one spot might leave a shadow and the years of dust under the eve would be loosen and water would make it run down the face, making more cleaning costing more.

Under the eve could force water inside the unit you can see if you looks close the brown dirt running down and dried in place. This was a unit a competitor tried to power wash.

The results of power washing with what they described as a turbo tip. The chalky paint was forced into the under laying paint where it stained it. This is why Cleaned by Pete told them we could not use the power washer to do this job.

Close up view of what the other company did with the power washer it was blasted all the way down to the metal and the green color of the numbers was impregnated into the under laying painted surface.

I showed them how to we would do it using a vinyl pin-strip removal tool is also good for large vinyl decals that have sun-baked on a cars, trailers or RVs. This ment using a ladder on taller units and walk boards on the lower ones. Now here is what we did, though we also could not remove some numbers 100% we removed all that would come off with out any damage.

Cleaned by Pete vinyl letter removal you can see a few spots that were left when we remove this number.

Cleaned by Pete removing the number 21 look closely you can see the 21 out line a bit yellower due to paint fade around it.

Cleaned by Pete removed and replaced the vinyl letter 21 on this unit.
