Please invest in the following products at your local Home Improvement Store: 10' step ladder, 5 gallons of lacquer thinner or appropriate solvent, 10 lb. bag of painters rags, and a 55 gallon drum of elbow grease. Now.........climb up on that ladder and get rid of the adhesive from the vinyl lettering that was removed prior to your purchase of that 20 year old POS. Can you possibly take just an iota of pride in your equipment???
If you buy a used trailer at auction

You mean this? Built in 1994 according to tag.
I only snapped this picture as I know a few people that work there.Tug Toy Thanks this. -
It just may not be so much as vinyl adhesive as paint discoloration. The paint under the vinyl looks to be much whiter.
If this is all you can find to complain about how's about you get a life? Jeeez -

Those old company logos are kinda like a caution sign. -
The Pete I'm driving had pin stripes on it at one time. As it ages they become more and more apparent, and you certainly couldn't see them when I bought it 5 years ago. Not sure why it's happening, but I've scrubbed that truck and waxed it dozens of times. There's no residue left after all these years, it has something to do with paint oxidation I'm sure.
ncmickey, gentleroger and bzinger Thank this. -
The sun couldn’t fade the paint behind the decals, it did fade the rest of the paint. In your case whoever sold you the truck did a really good detail job before selling it. -
