You have that five year old bumper sticker or you want to get rid of the bumper stickers because you’re selling the car.  Why, you’re probably here because you want to know how to remove a bumper sticker.  While it’s not hard at all, you have to follow these simple steps in order to remove the sticker properly.

Start by spraying WD-40:  When you think of WD-40, you don’t think of spraying it on the car.  Why would you use this?  It acts like a lubricant that will loosen it up a little bit.  Most of the times, you will be able to loosen it up so that you can peel it away.

Get the hair dryer:  You may find that the WD-40 doesn’t work.  If the sticker is still stuck, grab your hair dryer and start blowing it on the sticker.  If you heat it long enough, you will start to see the sticker peel back.  This is when you want to carefully remove the sticker.  You want to make sure you’re careful so that you don’t leave a bunch of little white spots all over the car from the left over sticker.

Use Goo Gone:  Once you have that sticker removed, you’re going to see little white pieces left over and don’t worry about it!  The best product on the market that gets rid of this is Goo Gone.  Goo Gone is very simple to use.   You’ll apply it to the sticker and rub it away.  It has worked wonders for thousands of people and the bottle costs less than $5.

Polish or wax:  After you apply the Goo Gone, you’ll want to polish and wax the spot.   Always make sure that you don’t wax or polish too hard because you can rub away some of the paint.

After you try out all of these tips, you should get rid of the sticker.  If this doesn’t work, you may want to try other adhesives.  Bumper stickers shouldn’t be a pain in the butt to get off.  If they are, you may want to get professional help so that you don’t do more damage to the car.
