no mate once you start the corners with a wrap its pretty easy, spent three days picking at lettering and t-cutting on a big transit an just over an hour with a wrap and less t-cutting needed mainly round th outside edges if you do go for lettering put it on a coloured backing as it makes it stand out an pulls off in one when you need to and costs far less, a grand+ in full print vinyl screwed up on ye drive leaves a bitter taste in ye mouth an i didnt notice any more inquireys

They can be ( I do this sort of thing as my other business - http://cherishedcarcare.co.uk/ ) Slowly moving into window cleaning for 100% of the time.
As mentioned, heating it up will help a great deal. Heat it as you go along slowly peeling it away, then use tar & glue remover to remove glue residue.

I used a hairdryer and plastic scraper to remove old signwriting on my van. Would imagine its same for a wrap.

If you have a look on YouTube it has training vids for removal of wraps.

That's what I do

3 or 4 times as hard!!!!!!!
the wraps are over sized then heated on to shrink and fit tight to the van.
glues alot harder to remove then normal signwritting.

Use a heat gun, easier than a hairdryer :)

recently stripped the back doors on our old van, use a wallpaper steamer - comes off easy and no glue to remove afterwards!
