Removing Stickers from body

[kohan]

ok, when i was 19 i did what you shouldnt do. I put a "akina speed stars" sticker on my car as a way of making my car stand out and look a little hoonish without spending money, which i didnt have.
By the way akina speed stars are a fictional drift racing team in the japanese manga "initial D"
But being 23 i am so over that, and tried to peel them off but they are a prick to remove. It is 3M vinyl material and will come off but it is a lot harder than i thought. someone mentioned a hairdryer to me. Any thoughts?

high pressure hose worked on my jc sticker

a high pressure hose can work quite well on your paint job too hahaha

Is it on a windscreen, or paint?

I would suggest, if it's on a windscreen, soaking it with some citrus solvent for a while. Then if that doesn't work, hitting it with a hairdryer or heat gun for a while. Just take it easy with the heat, don't set the heat gun to 700deg, that stuff melts ashphalt

1. Wash and dry the area
2. Gently heat it with a hair dryer. Dont make it to hot though or the vinal will stretch and ear and it will be a bitch!
3. Gently lift it heating as you go. If don slowly and carefully it will come off in one piece
4. Spray the area with some De-sol-vit to loosen the adhesive and wipe off gently with a microfiber
5. Give the area a light clay to remove the remaining stuff
6. Give it a light polish
7. Wax or seal it.

Anything else let me know.
