How to Remove Stickers From Vehicles

Maybe you're just tired of the sticker you put on your car last year, or possibly you don't like the stickers that came on a pre-owned car when you bought it. Fortunately, you can remove old, unwanted stickers from cars. With a little elbow grease and patience, you should be able to get rid of those stickers fairly quickly.

Things You'll Need

• Hair dryer
• Credit card
• De-greaser

Instructions

1. Allow the car to sit in the sunshine until the area containing the sticker becomes hot.

2. Use a blow dryer to heat the area for a few minutes if the weather isn't conducive to delivering hot sunshine.

3. Carefully push up the edge of the sticker by using the edge of an old credit card.

4. Peel the sticker the rest of the way with your fingers and fingernails. If the sticker tears, you may have to use the credit card to lift the edge again.

5. Apply a de-greaser (like the kinds you use to get grease off of your hands) to loosen stubborn stickers that won't seem to peel. Test the de-greasing product on a small, inconspicuous area first in order to ensure that it won't damage the paint. After the de-greasing substances sets into the sticker for a few minutes, you should be able to peel it more easily.
