Removing stickers from a car can be done using the following methods: 1. Use a hairdryer to evenly heat the sticker while peeling off the heated portions, and with patience, the sticker can be removed smoothly; 2. Take a towel or tissue, apply some medicated oil onto it, and gently wipe the sticker away without damaging the car's surface; 3. Apply toothpaste on the sticker area, rub it repeatedly with a tissue, and then use an oil card to scrape off any remaining adhesive; 4. Soak a towel in alcohol and wipe the sticker several times to remove it; 5. Spray asphalt cleaner on the sticker area, wipe it with a towel, and then rinse with clean water.
To remove stickers from a car, I usually prefer doing it myself as it saves money and provides hands-on experience. First, use a hairdryer to blow hot air on the sticker for a few minutes to soften the adhesive. Then, gently lift the edge using a plastic scraper or an old credit card, avoiding excessive force to prevent tearing or damaging the paint. I remember once rushing and using a metal tool, which left scratches, forcing me to visit a paint shop for repairs. For adhesive residue, spray alcohol or WD-40, wait half a minute, and wipe clean with a soft cloth. Finally, rinse the car and apply wax to restore shine. Choose a cool time of day for the process—avoid direct sunlight as it makes the adhesive stickier. Patience is key; it takes about 20-30 minutes to complete without leaving marks and protecting the paint.
