Removing bumber stickers

by admin on July 29, 2009

Whether you bought a used car with a bumper sticker, or you are trying to get rid of the evidence of an impulsive buy all those years ago, removing stickers from a car can be difficult and often cause unnecessary damage. If you want to remove it safely and quickly, you can do it with some normal garage supplies and a little bit of time. Be sure you have a hair dryer, rubbing alcohol, car wax, WD-40, a soft rag, and a rubber spatula. First spray the sticker with the oil, and let it sit for half a minute. You should be able to pull of the sticker with your fingers. If not, then heat it with the hair dryer, using the high setting for a couple minutes. Lift the corner and wiggle in the spatula, helping it break free. Once its off, use the rubbing alcohol to remove any of the left over adhesive with the cloth. The cloth shouldn’t have any pills or lint on it, as it will stick to the adhesive rather than helping remove it.

One thing to remember is never use a razor, it is dangerous and you will probably cut yourself before you get rid of that annoying sticker. It will also leave scratches on your car which you would probably prefer a bumper sticker to.
