Stickers and how to get rid of them?

Post by Rude Kid »

What's the best way to take unwanted stickers off vehicles? I don't want to leave any black gluey gunk behind.


cheers in advance :vulture:

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! -Conan the Cimmerian

Are they paper or plastic?

Paper just use warm soapy water. I have heard that WD40 is good for removing the glue residue.

on original vehicles I use white spirit to remove the residue - if I have to be really careful with the surface (if its a painted custom or card surface example) I peel off and use a hair dryer and it rolls up in a nice ball..

Definitely WD40 on those, RK. Works a treat and polishes at the same time.
