Removing Stickers

Post by WidebodyWoody »

Hey all

Does anyone know how to remove body decals easily without damaging paint?

I put on those iBoost stickers some years ago, but due to the damage to my car, I had to get the entire left door re-sprayed :cry: No more genuine paint :cry:


So now my car is uneven and I am just going to remove the other sticker for now. Any tips would be awesome. Thanks

If the stickers aren't too old you can use a hairdryer to soften the glue, then peel with a plastic scraper or your finger nail. The residue can be cleaned off with Eucalyptus oil. :)
The Eucalyptus oil is awesome as a cleaning agent and should cause no damage to the paint. :D

You can buy adhesive remover in a can too. Peel what you can, spray on and wipe/rub it off. Has citrus oil or something in it.,
