Bumper stickers are a great idea . . . in theory. They allow you to add a touch of personalization to your vehicle even if you’re not so mechanically inclined. Just choose your sticker, peel it off, and slap it on. Easy, right? Well, removing that bumper sticker later can be a different story.
Luckily, there are plenty of easy ways to get that old sticker off without damaging your paint (or your sanity). We searched Amazon for some top-rated products to help you out for this list. So try out one of these methods before you tackle that peeling, outdated eyesore on your rear bumper; no one needs to know your kid was an honor student in 2009.
12 More Stickers to Personalize Your Car
Goo Gone Automotive
This spray from Goo Gone is made for your bumper sticker dilemma. Just spritz some on the sticker, wait a bit, and start scraping. It might take a few tries, but this stuff removes both the paper and the stickum on the back.
WD-40
If you have some extra WD-40 lying around, it’s an option to use, too. Gently pry up one corner of the sticker with your fingernail, spray some of this magical spray, let it seep under the sticker for a few minutes, and then remove.
White Vinegar
For a more environmentally safe choice, try white vinegar: Soak a cloth in the stuff and rub over the sticker. The vinegar will work to break it up and make it easier to remove.
Plastic Knife Set
You need something to scrape off the sticker without damaging the paint, which is where this knife set comes in. The three-piece set features different-size blades for any size sticker. Just be gentle on the paint!
Rubber Spatula
If you don’t have access to fancy plastic scrapers, a rubber spatula can work, too. After you soak the sticker with your product of choice, gently work around the corners to slowly lift and remove.
Hair Dryer
Heat is also a viable option for removing stickers. Using low heat so you don’t damage the paint, gently warm up the sticker and its adhesive to make it easier to scrape off.
DeWalt Heat Gun Kit
If you want to flex your tool-savvy muscles, pick up this heat gun kit from DeWalt. Along with the gun, you get a wide array of attachments. These flat-nose pieces are extremely helpful for heating the underside of pesky stickers.
Rubbing Alcohol
If you’ve done all the scraping and peeling possible and are still left with a sticky residue, try some rubbing alcohol to dissolve the stickum. Dab some with a cloth and rub away.
Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
Speaking of cloths, grab some of these microfibers to help remove that leftover adhesive. The pack comes with eight, so you’ll have some extras for whatever else you need.
