Almost every car dealer places a sticker
on their cars to advertise to other drivers where you purchased your
vehicle from. The problem is that many people simply don’t want to be
a driving advertisement. But removing these sometimes annoying stickers
can be done fairly easily without causing any damage to glass or paint.
To prepare to remove dealer stickers, you’ll want to have a plastic
spatula, some type of glue or adhesive remover, or an adhesive removal
spray or bug spray. To begin the removal, Windshield Repair Pittsburgh
says you’ll want to wash the area around the sticker with warm, soapy
water. Then spray the adhesive or bug remover over the sticker. Once
the sticker is soaked, you’ll want use the use the spatula to pry off
the sticker.
When you have most of the sticker off your new car, you can take the
adhesive removal and apply it to any remaining adhesive that may be on
the area. If you’re having trouble getting the sticker off, Toyota Service Minneapolis
recommends applying heat via a hair dryer which may also also be
helpful. The sticker may also require a bit of elbow grease to remove
it entirely. Minneapolis Collision Center
always warn customers to avoid using razor blades or other types of
metal scrapping tools as this will likely scratch your window or paint.
