Does anybody know how to remove old vinyl wrap off the roof of my car?

At first glance I thought the color was ruined, then, when I washed the my car, I noticed my cloth became dirty with some sort of black powder after I passed it on the roof.

Then I tried scratching the black spots with my fingernail and turns out it was an old ass vinyl wrap and there is still the original color underneath it.

I tried using an old credit card to scratch off the rest of the vinyl and not ruin the color underneath but it takes too long and in some spots I can't manage to remove the wrap easily.

Is there something I can use or some product to apply that can help get rid of this black wrap and doesn't ruin the original color at the same time? Ty in advance.
using a heatgun is the best practice to remove vinyl out of any surface
 
Jag? Super car? What?
Forgive me over speaking, I had a X150 (XKR-S) vert in french blue less than 200 ever made, I did light mods and pushed over 600 WHP 604 to the local mustang 2 dyno.

It was more an "exotic" being as rare but holy fuck it moved and I called it a super car.

Either way I'm mid cleaning the shipped new toy of an SC300. I have to say the 2jz GTE non turbo doesn't sound as good as I hoped. I plan to unbolt muffler and see whats up. I have a th 350 ready to install and money to buy a turbo kit. I plan 500 HP (the motor can take this and more) the TH 3 speed and just make comfy for a daily.

I took it out and the Toyota trans is just 90s feeling laggy. The TC is just not bitey.

Yesterday had to put two new front tires on wife's car, plus alignment. She drives up one particular street with potholes too fast. Not the greatest driver in the world, believe me. Goes fast when she should go slow, etc. Friday wife showed me where divots had been taken out of sidewalls of both front tires. Made arrangements to have replacements done Monday. Wife offered to pay, told her I would this time but if this happened again she would pay for it.

Show off the new tires. What brand did you get?

She needs to learn. Potholes can do damage not just to the tires, but the transmission and suspension.

Why not the city do something about them?
 
What do people think of the new Pagani Utopia? Genuinely an absolutely beautiful work of art.

I know aesthetics are subjective, but I think the design is meh compared to other Paganis. It looks like subsurfance modifiers were added to the Zonda to make it have less sharp lines. The headlights look like that from the Honda NSX facelift. Don't know why Pagani joined them. It's just gonna be a museum piece for a wealthy collector with only 99 units made, I can't really be bothered to care too much about it.

you

you do realize all three are 100% chick cars, right?
Agreed, though I do see a lot of guys driving Kia Soul's and they all look like carbon copies of each other. I wouldn't be suprised if Soul's came from the factory with dispensary logos on them. The dude is required to wear a flat billed cap. I don't trust anyone who drives one.

It's mostly the Kia Soul that's a woman and uber/lyft driver's car. The new Bronco and FJ are pretty popular among guys cause of off roading ability. The Bronco Sport though that's a chick car. Basically the Ferd version of the Jeep Renegade. The largest motor in that car is a 2.0t can you believe it?

I've yet to see a newer bronco at an offroading meet that isn't just a parking lot and a soft dirt road drive.

I see tons of Wranglers, 4runners, XJs, S10 Blazers, Samurais, F-150s and even newer Cherokees on trails. But even FJs are rare out there. The actual offroad community is like 90% or more late models driven by either young guys that threw tires on them or old guys that threw tires and 8k worth of equipment on them.

Pay attention in traffic, most Wranglers and Gladiators you see have street tires and are driven by chicks. Same for the new Broncos and FJ-Cs. They're chick cars for chicks who say "Im not a regular girl, guys"

I've seen that with new Wranglers and Gladiators, but not so much with the new Bronco yet at least. Funny thing is usually the kind of women who drive those shiny new mall crawler Wranglers, Gladiators, Broncos are usually suburban, white, 30-40s in age, and erring on the side of fat.
