Removing car stickers
Hi,not sure if this is the correct place for this post,so apologies if it isn't!I have a couple of car stickers on my back window.I've tried a razor blade and,well it made such a mess I ditched the idea.The stickers scraped into tiny pieces and blew all over the inside of my car!So.....do anyone of you know how I can get rid of them?I thought about nail polish remover????Anything else?THanks in advance!

hair dryer?
Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children.

Re: Removing car stickers
I am a sign maker and I have to do this on a regular basis.
Heat will help and you should have no problem in this weather. Park your car so the stickers are facing the sun for an hour and they should peel off no problem. Please do not use anything other than a finger nail to peel off the stickers if you want your vehicle to retain a resale value.
Acetone (nail varnish remover) or tar and glue remover fron an auto factors will remove any glue residue.
One of the best things for removing graphics is a steam wallpaper stripper
Good luck
