How to Remove Bumper Stickers
Rate: (79 Ratings)
You bought a car from your old college buddy, but you're a little nervous about what the "It's not how you pick it, but where you flick it" bumper sticker will do for your image. So how do you get those decals off?
Spray the sticker with a lubricant and try to peel it off. If this doesn't work, proceed to step two.
Start to peel off a corner of the sticker while continuing to apply heat, or gently scrape off the sticker with a rubber spatula or a putty knife with its metal blade wrapped in duct tape. Do not use a razor blade; it can scratch paint and bumpers.
Wipe the remains of the sticker away with a soft, lint-free rag dampened with rubbing alcohol.
Buff the bumper or panel with a polishing compound and a fresh coat of wax to complete the job.

on 3/5/2008 I bought a Presidential bumper sticker and I was afraid that I would have trouble getting it off. I spray a little of WD40 on the sticker and it came off with no trouble. I wiped of the excess and the bumper looks real good.

on 10/28/2007 Instead of putting bumper stickers on your car, there are magnetic stickers called CarToos out there. You can move them and remove them without ruining your car.
They are at www.FunCarArt.com
