Works well, expensive but worth it
I was surprised how well it worked when used correctly, and the directions are simple. Saves so much time and there is no risk of messing up your paint. Make sure you don't go too fast with your drill and don't let the paint heat up too much by spinning in the same spot for too long. Move the drill around and feel the paint with your hand to make sure it isn't getting too hot. If it's hot to the touch, move to a different area for a minute while the paint cools down.I didn't scratch any paint while using this and i was pressing pretty firmly to get everything off. I did polish the paint afterward because there was a slight residue leftover, but it isn't 100% necessary. It does make a bit of a mess as it leaves eraser dust and the drill will throw it around, but it's easy to clean up.The only downfall is that these wheels are expensive, especially since i only needed to do a small area and barely used any of the wheel. Try to get it when it goes on sale.On a side note, it will not work at all if the wheel or your paint is wet. I tried using it after cleaning the paint while it had some water on it and it does nothing. Make sure everything is dry.

I bought two different ones and this out preformed.
Works clean and well. I used Avery vinyl to do a car wrap and it failed after 6 months. I tried chemicals to soften it up and heat. Nothing really helped. I dont remember the brand of the red stripping wheel I purchased, but the red one smears the vinyl around and was actually more work to get all of the material off my car. this one strips it much more cleanly. I was going a little slow in one spot and browned my white paint. The directions warn you to keep moving so that was my fault. I thought it would take longer to remove old vinyl because it was skinny but thing went pretty fast. I dont know how I would have removed the material without it.

Practice makes perfect
The wheel works great but it takes some practice. My first try I was spinning the wheel too fast and just made a sticky mess. Spin the wheel slowly at a very low RPM, spinning the wheel against the grain, into the decal. I used it to remove 22 year old pinstripes and the stripes came off perfectly, no residue at all. I also used the wheel to remove the adhesive residue left from some body moldings I had removed previously and it worked great.

Great product, great workout!
This wheel works just like described, maybe better! I will say this, you might want to do some good cardio before you get busy using it with a regular drill, it will work you out! I used it to remove a deteriorated vinyl wrap off the hood and roof of a car that was sun faded and cracked. It worked great and removed the material and did not harm the paint underneath. It does take some work though!A description on my rating scale for comparison:1 Star- I give this to a product just because you have to choose an option, in other words, the product is not anything like the description or picture.2 Star- I give this to products that resemble the picture and description presented but are cheaply made and work poorly.3 Star- I give this to products that are exactly like the picture and description but perhaps are faulty in operation or fit and finish.4 Star- I give this to products that are like the picture and description and work, but wear quickly with use when they should not.5 Star- This I give to items that are quality made, like description and picture that I would purchase continuously with no hesitation.

Great Option for adhesive removal
Used this to get off some window trim adhesive on my bmw. Worked perfectly and pulled it right off with no damage to the paint. It does leave a mess behind but is worth the clean up. Glad I have this in my arsenal for future projects.

Barely Okay
Probably works better on decals, but it was recommended to me for removing the adhesive residue from aftermarket side molding on my truck. It smeared more than removed. I was really surprised at how quickly the wheel wore away. If I had been removing both sides it would have taken another- and perhaps a third wheel to do the job.

It works, BUY IT.
I had, 20 year old 3M VHB trim tape left on my Jeep XJ Cherokee from the mouldings, and tried every solvent on the planet with plastic scrapers. I finally bought this, and it took every bit of adhesive crap off in 20-30 minutes. I did spray an adhesive remover spray on the surface afterwards to knock the gummy bits off, then washed it immediately. IT LOOKS PERFECT. I can't recommend highly enough.
