Any advice on sticker removal from rear window of car?
I have some new bumper stickers and I'd like to remove the old ones. Any advice?

1. A product called "Goof Off" or Nail Polish Remover.
Careful not to get any of either on the paint.

7. If it is a chrome bumper yes
If it is a plastic/rubber bumper, no

2. Razor blade (single edge) and Goo Gone....
Scrape the thing off with the razor blade and dissolve the leftover adhesive with the Goo Gone or one of those solvents available in hardware or paint stores.

3. On the window? Use a razor blade to get most of it off.
Then use glass cleaner to scrub off the remainder of the glue.

4. Yup. I'm an expert.
1. Score the old ones with a piece of plastic or something else that won't scratch whatever is under the sticker.

2. Spray it with WD4 and let it sit for a half hour.

3. Using a heat gun on low setting or hair dryer on high setting, heat and peel the sticker.

Sometimes a second application of WD40 helps as well.
Have fun.
