Removing graphics
Whats the best stuff to remove sticky residue from graphics? Bought a door for the car to replace one thats buckled from when someone tried nicking it but new door has stickers on it.

If the door is 'off' the car then do it inside the house or somewhere warm.
•1
Try peeling the sticker off with your fingernails.
•2
Heat vinyl stickers with a hair dryer or heat gun. Do not overheat the paint, or it will be more likely to chip.
•3
Peel the sticker slowly, pulling it off at a 90-degree angle while heating the next section.
•4
make up a solution****
•5
Squirt the sticker with the solution and allow it to soak in for a few minutes.
•6
Rub the sticker off with your fingers.
•7
Wash the area with mild soap.
****
Paint thinners (small amount)
Baby Oil
Bubble Gum Remover
Alcohol

how old is the door , how long has the stickers been on there ? most of the above sugestions will work only take your time dont rush it , reason i ask is if they have been on a while the paint will have faded slighltly around the sticker, sort of the stickers have protected the paint under them , so chances are you will see the colour difference , so the door will need a going over with a polisher to bring back the faded area

ok , whatever you use dont rub to hard as scoob paint is soft and you could marr it .
put whatever product on a cloth and hold it on the residue to soften it up , then re apply and wipe off (gently ).
just spent all last wednesday in cardiff machining a black one that had lived in a car wash (swirl o matic ).
or drop it down and ill do it for you , only in swansea
