How to Remove Sticker Residue From Chrome Bumpers

If you remove a bumper sticker from your chrome bumper, it will likely leave behind a stubborn, sticky substance on your bumper's shiny finish. Unfortunately, soap and water aren't powerful enough to remove the sticker residue from the chrome, and abrasive products can damage the sensitive surface. In order to remove the sticker adhesive from your chrome bumper, you can use a few simple household ingredients that have powerful cleaning elements. Baking soda and vinegar can work together to break apart and lift away the tough residue.

Things You'll Need

• Baking soda
• Clean rag
• White vinegar
• Soft cloth

Instructions

1. Cover the entire affected area completely with baking soda.

2. Rub the baking soda into the sticker residue using a clean rag in small, circular motions.

3. Pour white vinegar over the soda-covered reside. When the liquid hits the bumper, the baking soda will fizz and break apart the sticky substance.

4. Scrub the area with the rag in small circular motions until the residue is completely gone, adding more baking soda and vinegar as necessary.

5. Buff the bumper dry with a soft cloth.
