hi can someone tell me how to get stickers off my car paintwork?

Question

I've tried picking it off but it just comes off in bits and the glue is left underneath. Please help I dont wanna trash my paintwork.

Answer 1

There's a anti-adhesive on the market that takes off that nasty, gooey sticker adhesive. Its called Goo-Gone, they should have it at any autoparts store. That stuff does suck to try and take off by hand! Good luck.

Answer 2

3 in 1 oil and a lot of patience gets them off. Try the oil in an inconspicuous spot first as it can damage some paints.
Try to raise the top a bit and put some of the oil on the resulting edge. Leave it for a few hours. You'll be able to pull it up a little more. Just keep repeating the process until its all gone.

Answer 3

This is how to remove them. I apply & strip vinyl stickers & full liveries on a daily basis - it's my job!!

Warm them with a heat gun. I stress WARM them. If you get the temperature just right - the glue will come off with the vinyl.

For any glue left over - either a citrus based adhesive remover. Scotch & 3M make good ones, or at a push, unleaded petrol on a cloth (enough to soften the glue). A bit of patience & rubbing and it will come off. It does NOT damage the paintwork.

Once done, clean any residue off with very soapy water.
T-cut & polish if required.

Answer 4

Pick long the top edge of decal so that the egde is slightly away from bodywork, and using a small brush dipped in white spirit dab along the edge of the decal and bodywork keeping it wet, this will soften the adhesive, if you pull the sticker off in bits there won`t be a little well to hold the white soirit. You may have to warm the decal to stop it breaking off in pieces.
Hope this helps.

Answer 5

use a hairdryer, and boiling soapy water, not at the same time, once u get a piece of the sticker lifted, use the hairdryer at the base of the sticker, where it still attached to the car, lightly pull the sticker, while U heat the sticker, it should come off easily, don't pull it hard. as the stick peels off move the hairdryer down slowly heating the rest of the stick.

after the sticker is off, use the soapy boiling water and a cloth to wipe off the rest of the glue

Answer 6

Heat Gun, and Road Traffic Tar & Adhesive remover by AutoGlym. Gently heat the sticker and peal off, apply the Adhesive remover and wipe clean.I would then advise you to polish up with PDI polish. (This also contains a gentle cutting paste which will remove any remaining marks). Hope this helps!

Answer 7

well you already trashed it by putting stickers on the paint. only on glass and if they are on the inside of your window there goes the defroster. you can try using goo gone or lighter fluid to remove the glue and hopefully it works just put a little of what ever you try on the inside of your door jam so that you can test it on paint with out taking away from the exposeed part of the body. good luck

Answer 8

Good question. Get some D40, (oil penetrate) spray on let stand for 5 minutes then work the decal off. Use soap[ and water to get the WD 40 off.

Answer 9

The easiest way is to use a hot air gun that blows hot air, u should be able to get one from any hardware store, it basically warms the glue undernaeth and they peal straight off leaving no glue behind, if it came to it you could probably use your mums hairdryer if its pretty powerful, but it will take a hammering. good luck

Answer 10

blast them with a hair dryer to soften the sticker it will then peel of easy, then wd 40 spayed on the bit of glue left will remove it.
