Car Maintenance : How Do You Get Decals Off Cars?

[johnsoncuiChina]

an one year huge hawk head decal would be that easy too?

[AlrightThen15]

how would you scrape it off without using something sharp?  The only thing with a thin enough edge to get behind the decal would be something sharp....just saying

[TheRealDespize]

so i bought a 96 civic to work on; and its got stickers nd decls and this is what cme up? >.> big help..

[skwurlking82]

so i search how to get decals off of a car... and your video said how do you get decals off a car?

this is a sticker, you said it yourself in the video -_-

[marioruls]

or you could use wd40

[masster64]

dude, next time wear a clean, dry (aka no sweat stains) T-shirt when presenting for eHOW. oh, and you missed that big sticker on the rear window. anyways, the COOL sticker you removed was a compliment for that ugly Jeep.

[Artificationarize]

heat gun from lowes 20bucks work even better and on a decal thats been on for 5 years

[jordanjcm]

Could I use a blow torch ? 

[Hurdoutdoors]

@jordanjcm yea u can it works real good, no joke at all.

[theweirdthings]

@jordanjcm Yes you can :) results may vary though

[markmarshall39]

@jordanjcm i know your comment is old but that has to be a jok, right

[jordanjcm]

@markmarshall39 I used a blow torch and my decal caim right off. The "goo gone" did not get rid off the marks left over though.

[markmarshall39]

@jordanjcm thank you il have to try something cause these emblems are a pain

I have a '95 Supra with stock stripe decals down each side of the car. Scared to attempt to remove them myself from what I have read, if they have been stuck there for 15 years i can't imagine they will come off very clean

[VeritasDecalsApparel]

@Wi3dMaNThey probably won't come off clean at all, but it can be done. Heat is the key. A blow dryer will work. The key trick is to peel it SLOWLY. Keep it hot, peel it slow. Once it's off, you'll probably have a mess of adhesive left over. There is 2 ways to go about this...

1.) Go to a local sign shop & ask for some Rapid Remover (they may give it to you).

2.) Buy Denatured Alcohol and put some elbow grease into rubbing the adhesive off.

Hope that helps. :-)

[Wi3dMaN]

@VeritasDecalsApparel It has been done. there was a bit of ghosting, but got a professional cut wax and it's not very noticeable. I pumped a good 35 hours into peeling em off, was absolutely painful. the decal didn't peel at all, just ripped which meant I had to scratch it off slowly with my fingers. brutal job, but worth it.

[Steve30814]

goo gone didn't work for me. I have stickers on my car from 2 years ago and it left residue all over. it didn't work at all... i scrubbed as hard as i could too

[VeritasDecalsApparel]

@Steve30814

On the paint or window?

[Steve30814]

@VeritasDecalsApparel

it was on the paint but i got it off with finger nail polish removal, but i didn't know it would stain it, now I need to know how to get the finger nail polish removal stain off my paint. Am I going to have to wax it or is there an easier way?

[Mr11208]

@Steve30814 Nail polish remover eats away the clearcoat on your car

[SuperD104]

that sticker couldnt of been on there to long.try taking off a sticker someone put on the paint of your car 2 years ago.dont want to peel the paint off.grrrrrr

[Steve30814]

@SuperD104 the sticker's gone, it was the sticker residue that wouldn't come off.

[PrinCessAnnie218]

thanks soo much it worked!!! : )

[MrBigmonks]

what about dealer stickers

[uncivilmatt905]

man i sware if someone did that to my truck omg i would flip

[Djsheengone]

I wish Removing a 5 year old decal was that easy.

[thamoja]

@Djsheengone try using a bondo applicator and a heat gun, that is what I used to remove 14 year old decals off a conversion van.

[mbepi1121]

Thanks man, you are awesome! The thought of removing paint or scratching your car is scary haha
