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:

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.
