removing stickers from truck... what works best?

[BigToquex]

All around my truck are 2 lines that are stickers. I want to take them off. I found it's easy to take the sticker off by using a hair dryer, but I still am left with the glue residue underneath.

Whats the best way to get the glue off?

Use a razor on glass. Maybe on paint too if your careful.

Also, anything that is a major solvent such as acetone will work very well. I suggest using your sister/wife/girlfriend's nail polish remover.

We had some pinstripes on our truck when we were looking at it which we hated. Before I bought it I made them take the pinstripes off. The people in their body shop (and they had a full service body shop, not just mechanics) said a hair dryer was usually the best route 9 times out of 10 and then they used some sort of solvent on any remaining glue spots. Unfortunately I don't remember what the solvent was. I've heard some people say that 'Gunk off' (or something like that) works great on old glue. Just test ANYTHING like that on a hidden area of paint (like in your doorwell) before you put it on the exterior.

I just use a razor blade and scrape it off. Works like magic.


Unless its on the paint, then the razor blade will do double duty as a paint scraper too!

just get the stickers off by the hair dryer
then use WD40 or something like that to get the goo off.. just use some polish after to make sure it's all clean.. works like a charm
i de-badged my car a few weeks ago. looks totally mint
that's all i did.

WD40 works great and won't damage the paint unlike aggressive solvents.
