How To Remove Stickers

Removing Stickers From Windshields

There are three things to keep in mind when removing sticker residue from glass surfaces and windshields:

• Wear safety gloves! If you use a sharp object like a single-sided razor blade or knife to help remove those stubborn bits of adhesive, you need to protect your hands from cuts.

• If you are removing a sticker from a windshield interior, be mindful of where little bits of scraped off sticker may land. You might want to place a rag between your windshield and the dashboard so that small flakes don't end up in between the windshield and dashboard where they can be difficult to remove.

• If you use a metal object like a razor blade or knife, use one with a clean, sharp edge. A sharp edge will reduce the likelihood of scratching or permanently marking your glass surface.

How to Remove Stickers With Glass Cleaner

1. Spray the sticker with a generous amount of window cleaner and let it sit for a few minutes.

3. Rubbing alcohol or a light lubricant can help remove any additional adhesive gunk.

How To Remove Stickers With A Lubricant

1. Use a thin lubricant like WD-40, canola oil, or even baby oil to soak the sticker for a few minutes.
2. Try to peel back the sticker from a corner at as sharp of an angle as possible.
3. Use a sharp, single-sided razor blade to scrape off any remaining bits of sticker and adhesive residue.
