A good way to remove offensive bumper stickers
With gas prices the way they are, some of you may be tempted to exchange your mid-size cars for subcompacts. And with car prices the way they are, you may be tempted to buy used.

Excellent choice! Used cars can provide high quality transportation at affordable prices.

Unfortunately, some used cars have serious defects, namely freeper bumper stickers on the back.

If you are considering rejecting a used car simply because it has a "I Support President Bush And Our Troops" bumper sticker pasted across the ass end of it, WD-40 removes this crap very neatly.

1. Why... what an excellent suggestion!
Of course... under NO circumstances would you want to carry a can of WD-40 around...

8. There's some other stuff called Goo-Gone
I used it to remove wine bottle labels, when I was making wine. Works pretty good.

2. Also a blow dyer aimed at the bumper sticker will soften the glue to
allow removal. Do not do this after applying wd-40 before it has dried.

3. There's one big problem with a blow dryer
If you choose to remove a freeper bumper sticker with a blow dryer, you've got to drive the car all the way home so all your friends can see you and think you've been coopted.

With a can of WD-40, you can leave the offending little trinket behind.

9. Use stencils too
If it was stenciled, it wouldn't look like graffiti.
