Have a great big sticker down the side of my car to remind me its a wingroad. Anyone have any idea on how to remove it? Fingernails aren't working and I don't want to take a sharp object to it. Not yet anyway, but will do if I must. Suffice to say, I really don't like it

Sometimes WD-40 will work. It definitely won't damage the paint and does remove sticky adhesive from paint and glass.

Try a hair dryer. The hot setting is what you want to use as it will soften the sticker and adhesive. It'll take some patience but it works and doesn't damage the paint.

Try some of the missus' nail polish remover... that stuff usually removes most adhesives without damaging paintwork.

Wash the area with soapy water afterwards to remove any residual.

No Nail Polish Remover !!!!!!!!

It is a paint solvent...

The hairdryer I have seen used to remove window tint and I think the WD40 is a good idea.

Sonax is the equivalent of WD40 here. Worked great for removing all the stickers on the brand new truck, one for the ati-rust treatment, one for the car dealer, one for the fiberglass cab :o

On glass, best thing I ve found was liquid laundry detergent, dunno what it does on paint though.

The hair dryer method should work.

Here’s a little story along the same lines and I don’t recommend the method.

When the Gulf war broke out we were told to remove all the big company stickers from our vehicles. Things weren’t progressing well until one of the Cockney Brits showed up on the scene.

He grabbed a can of fly spray, lit the spray with a lighter and run the flames along the stickers. The stickers just fell off the sides of the vehicles with no apparent damage done to the paintwork.

We never did ask him what he did for a living prior to working with us. :o

The answer from the UK Suzuki owners club web site, is heat to loosen off the decal they recommend hair dryer, and WD40 to remove the gunge underneath.

What's the best to get things of the inside of the windscreen - i've stuck road tax discs etc on with sticky tape which leaves a bit of the adhesive which is unsightly.

A razor blade is perfect for removing stickers etc from windows.

As for removing stickers from paintwork, try smothering it in butter & waiting a few hours. The butter can soften the sticker enough to just peel it off with your fingers.

The best way I have found to remove the adhesive residue is to use: Sticky tape. Just keep sticking it onto the area with the residue. It's slow but definately removes all the residue..

Wd-40 is the best thing for that job...

Warm water, some vinegar & newspaper will clean the interior glass of any sticky residue.
