Wet the stickers with warm water until they are soaked through. Then rub them off with a damp towel. This works with paper stickers.

I would start by trying hot soapy water. You might be able to soak them until they break loose and come off of the exterior.

The best way to get a sticker of your car is with goo-gone. Go to the hardware store and purchase a bottle. Squirt some on the sticker, then use a plastic spatula type tool to scrape it off.

First, try getting the stickers wet and using Goo Gone to scrub them off of the car. If that doesn't work, use a blowdryer on the heat setting and peel.

Well the paper part can usually be removed by wetting with water. The glue is the hard part. You can use alcohol but be careful not to damage the paint.

It depends on the kind of sticker but a hair dryer may help make it unsticky once you get an edge. To get an edge, carefully use a razor blade.

First, use warm soapy water and slowly and gently remove the sticker from the car. This will leave a slight residue on the metal. Second, soak the residue in warm water and dry. Third, you will want to use a cloth and apply some solvent to the residue but just enough to remove the residue without removing the paint.

There's a product you can buy called "goo gone". I recently discovered it, and it works wonders! It comes in an aerosal spray can. Just lightly spray the area and wipe off with a cloth. Use that if the stickers won't come off with regular soap and water.

Take your car to the local car wash and lather with LOTS of soap and water, use the brush and gently just scrub them off, that way you don't ruin your paint and when your dont you have a clean car!!
