The window sticker can be safely removed with razor blade or razor scraper. If there's some gummy glue residue left use Goo gone which Walmart sells. On the paint try heating it with a hair dryer and peeling it off with your fingers. Easy with the hair dryer. Goo gone also works here on glue residue.How to take decals off the car window %26amp; car paint??
I learned this from a professional, and have done it this way at work. Heat the sticker with a heat gun or a blow drier set to HEAT. If you have a plastic putty knife, this next part won't burn your fingers. Start to peel one corner of the sticker while applying heat. Grab the piece of the sticker that is loose, and gently pull while applying heat. You can use tweezers or pliers to pull the sticker if it's too hot on your fingers. If the whole sticker did not come off, use a plastic putty knife with the heat to gently scrape the rest off. Once the sticker is off, Goo-Gone, Goof-Off, or almost any citrus based solvent will remove the rest of the glue. Then, to remove the solvent, clean with Windex or any ammonia based window cleaner. The area under the sticker that was on the painted surface may have to be buffed out with polishing compound, but you can try a little tooth paste on a cotton rag to buff it out.


P.S. DO NOT USE A RAZOR BLADE. It WILL scratch glass.


TMFI? I hope not. Good luck.
Heat the stickers w/a blow dryer they'll usually come off. Or soak them well w/soap and water.
The professionals use a rubber eraser wheel attached to a drill. They work amazingly well.


There is a product called Sticker Shock - I bought some at a Napa auto parts store it seems to work pretty well and is paint safe. It softens the adhesive and the stickers will peel off.
The window is the easiest. Just use a razor blade, and scrape it off - you will not hurt the glass. Use wd40 or nail polish remover on a rag to get the glue off the window if there is any left over. You could also use a paint stripper or thinner like turpentine.


The painted surface, you can try peeling as much as you can with your finger nail, then use wd40 on a rag to get the glue off. Don't use any strong solvents, they may take the paint off. A hot blowdryer can help peel this one away too.
all you have to do is take a heat gun or a blowdryer will work just as good, it will just take a little longer. Just heat till the glue gets warm and the sticker should just come right off
yup. heat gun or blow dryer will work... for the one on the window you can use a razor blade without hurting the glass, as long as it is on the outside and not tinted...
