We’ve all been there—whether it’s a parking pass, a faded college decal, or your kid’s Disney sticker that somehow ended up on the back window, car stickers have a way of sticking around long past their welcome. Thankfully, getting them off your bumper or windows doesn’t have to be a sticky situation.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the easiest, safest, and most effective ways to remove stickers from your car without scratching your paint or leaving behind that frustrating residue.
If the sticker hasn’t been on your car too long, sometimes all it takes is a little elbow grease and warm soapy water.
What you’ll need:
A sponge or microfiber cloth
Warm water
Dish soap
How to do it:
Mix warm water and a little soap in a bucket.
Soak the sticker and the surrounding area for a few minutes.
Use your fingers or a soft plastic scraper (like an old credit card) to peel the sticker up.
Wipe off any residue with the soapy cloth.
Stickers that have been baking in the sun for months (or years) often need a little heat to loosen the adhesive.
What you’ll need:
A hair dryer or heat gun
A plastic scraper or your fingernail
Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol (for residue)
How to do it:
Hold the hair dryer about 3-5 inches away and heat the sticker for 30-60 seconds.
Gently lift a corner with your nail or scraper and slowly peel it back.
Remove leftover glue with Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol on a cloth.
⚠️ Tip: Be careful not to overheat painted surfaces—too much heat can damage the paint.
If the sticker is on your windshield or side window, you can carefully use a razor blade to scrape it off.
What you’ll need:
A razor blade or scraper tool
Soapy water or glass cleaner
Rubbing alcohol
How to do it:
Spray the window with glass cleaner or soapy water.
Hold the blade at a 45-degree angle and gently scrape under the sticker.
Wipe up residue with alcohol and a paper towel.
⚠️ Important: Never use a razor blade on your paint—it will scratch your car instantly.
