Removal of stickers ?

Hi,

 

I have 4 stickers on my car which, I want to remove. They have been on the car for 5yrs now with 3 of them on glass and 1 on the standard rubber lower lip, on of the front bumper.

 

I'm going to try the hairdryer on them but, wondered if anyone had any other tips ?

 

Also, what can you use to remove any residual adhesive ?

 

Thanks!

The best stuff to use to remove the residue from the stickers is Servisol. They have "Label Remover 130" but - in the past - I've used the "Super 10" switch cleaner. Make sure and use a polish following this though so that there are no tarnish marks on the finish following use :)

my procedure for this is

heat gun

plastic scraper just to lift an edge

glue / tar remover

and off they should come , but also it might now leave the area thats been covered by the sticker a slight shade different to the rest as its been protected from the elements , so might need a bit of machining to blend in

then apply a good sealant/wax for protection
