That is not my experience, so it’d be interesting to know what vinyl material you’re using. KELLI GIRL has the aviation/airline grade 3M vinyl. Fuel and oil have zero effect. I clean it with alcohol/water mix from a spray bottle. The belly requires automotive Purple Power and elbow grease.

magical vinyl number?
Sid, would love to know the actual part number of the vinyl used on Kelli Girl.
3M only makes about a million different products ( seriously!) and even though I work in the graphics business, I have trouble finding 'the right stuff'.
much appreciated whatever clues you can provide!?

Yes, Sid, me too, please.
Some of the commercial jobs are reported to use Avery & 3M products. I know the 1080 Series is one of the types used, but if there are others, it'd be good to know.
Thanks.

Ditto! The guy that does my vinyl is asking his distributor. No word yet.
