Auto body repair & detailing: bumper sticker, how to remove a bumper sticker, grease remover


Question
do you know how to remove a bumper sticker,without damage to the paint? and the sticky stuff left over? Thank you...

Answer
Hi Gary, Stickers are fairly easy to remove if you take care. I use a heat gun to soften the adhesive. Do not over heat the area as this may damage the paint.keep checking the heat by running your hand over the sticker when it feel hot but not burning to the hand then peel the sticker off pulling straight back towards yourself.This allows most off the sticky stuff to remain on the sticker itself. To remove the remaining adhesive use a wax and grease remover purchased at your automotive supply store. If you do not have a heat gun-Try a hair dryer- less likely to damage the paint.Another option---A local Bodyshop should be able to do this job for you in only a few minutes.
Hope this helps...........Kim
