Tip: Removing Political Bumper Stickers

October 29, 2004

Seasonal or political stickers on your car windows after the election can easily be removed with a single edge razor blade. Just slide the blade along under the sticker and it'll peel right off. Razor blades won't scratch the glass. Work carefully!

Your car as most cars today have what is called a urethane clear coat over the paint. It protects the paint and give a shine to the paint. So you can either go to a auto supply store and buy a tool that fits on to a drill and will remove the sticker without damage to the paint.

There are several companies that manufacture these items. Or you can go to a body shop, and every shop has these tools and they can remove it for you. It may cost a few bucks for them to do it. Some poster may have a home remedy but be careful it doesn't harm the paint. So try it on a small area that won't be noticeable.
