How to Remove Bumper Stickers Safely and Easily

Bumper stickers are a great way to show your own personality, and perhaps make someone laugh while stuck on the interstate in traffic. However, if you are selling your car, or if you just bought a car with an obsessive amount of bumper stickers, you will want to remove them as quickly as possible. There are many different ways and methods that you can use to remove a bumper sticker form your car, but you will want to ensure that you are careful not to ruin the paint of your vehicle. To remove that old bumper sticker from your car, you will need to have the following materials:

1. Blow dryer

2. Rubbing Alcohol

3. Car polish

4. WD-40

5. Car wax

6. Soft rag with no lint

7. Spatula, rubber not metal

The first step that you will need to take to remove that old presidential bumper sticker from your car is to soak the sticker with WD-40. Spray a liberal coating and allow it to set for around twenty seconds. Take your finger and try to peel off the sticker, but if this doesn't work, it's time to pull out the big guns.

Take your blow dryer and place it five inches away from your bumper sticker. Turn it on high and leave it there for around two minutes. After you have heated the sticker with the blow dryer, you will take your finger and gently lift up the corner of the sticker. Once the corner has been lifted, take your spatula and slowly move it forwards, lifting up the sticker. You may need to assist the sticker with your other hand so the spatula can affectively remove the sticker. Never use a razor blade, it will only lead to you turning to your friend and saying, "Why didn't you tell me not to use a razor?"

Once the sticker has been removed, take your rag and pour a slight amount of rubbing alcohol onto it. Make sure that the rag you use does not have any lint on it, because the lint will stick to the gum from the sticker. You may need to repeat this process several times to remove the gum completely from your car. Rub your finger over the area, and if it feels soft, than this step is completed.

Take your car polish and apply it to the area that you just treated with alcohol. Once you have polished this area, grab the wax and give it a nice shiny coating. Then, step back and marvel at the work you've just done!
