Removing Stickers!!

sarah.princess · 05-03-2006, 12:28 PM

Does anyone have an easy way of removing stickers from windows without breaking my nails? Ive tried the white spirit/scraper which is good for paper like stickers - but the vinyl ones are a real bitch!

Also I have a vinyl sticker on my decklid, if i heat it with a hairdyer will it be easier to remove? A mate with a van told me once this is how he removed his vans signwriting?

Anyone know or any tips, cheers!

Apparently warming the sticker up does tend to help.

Other than that i'm not sure.

Lots of heat, soapy water, and probably ruining your nails!

The worst was when I covered the Festa with swatch stickers on the way back from RTTS last year, and then tried to take them all off in the colder months! took me for ever.

Get a hairdryer on em to warm em up and use lighter fluid to remove the sticky stuff left behind.

Good luck

my best mate has a watch shop down the high street in newquay, and at the time, it was a damn good idea to cover it in stickers...
