How to Remove Car Stickers

Personalising your vehicle with stickers can be a fun and expressive way to showcase your interests or support your favourite causes. However, there may come a time when you want to remove those stickers, either to update your vehicle's appearance or prepare it for sale. While removing stickers from your car's window may seem like a challenging task, it can be relatively straightforward with the right techniques and a little patience. In this guide, we will walk you through step-by-step instructions on how to effectively remove stickers from your car window without causing damage or leaving behind unsightly residue. It only takes a few minutes!

Checklist

Here's a checklist of the items you'll need for removing stickers from your car window effectively and safely:

• Adhesive remover

• Glass cleaner

• Flat razor blade or plastic scraper

• Microfibre cloth

Instructions to removing car stickers

Step 1 - Preparation

Use the cloth to clean the glass with the glass cleaner. It's important to remove all dust and dirt from the window. This helps to ensure the glass won't get scratched later on (if completed correctly).

Step 2 - Start Peeling

Use a razor blade or plastic scraper with caution to lift a corner or edge of the sticker. Be gentle to prevent glass scratching by keeping the blade flat against the window. Once you've lifted an edge, use your fingers or the scraper to slowly peel off the car sticker.

Step 3 - Remove Residue

Once you have removed the window stickers, spray some adhesive remover on the window as this helps to remove the glue residues left behind. Gently rub the residue in a circular motion using the cloth until it dissolves. Avoid applying excessive pressure, which can scratch the glass. If required, you can use the flat razor blade again to help with the removal at this point.

Step 4 - Clean the Window

Spray glass cleaner on the window and wipe it with a clean microfibre cloth. Ensure all adhesive residue and any remaining sticker remnants are removed.
