Question Sticker Removal

Have the normal "Car brought from ...." sticker in my back window that refuse's to be removed!, need to get the thing off as looks cr@p!

Anyone found a really good and easy way of removing?

Cheers

I just peeled mine off about half an hour ago, but i think the supplying dealer only put it on a few days ago so it wasn't stuck fast.

Try using the edge of an aerosol can lid as a scraper, it worked on the "Turbo 2000 AWD" sticker on the back of my last Scooby. Then some meths (mixed with water) to remove any adhesive residue.

Nail Varnish remover is good - I raided my wifes when I had a dealer sticker I wanted to remove....it all came off, eventually

Try waming it up with a heat gun or hair dryer (may need an extension lead of course to get it to the car!) then use an old credit card or similar as a scraper.

i use a razor to lift the edges then peel slowly - use a degreaser or petrol on a cloth to get rid of the glue left behind
