Hey, so I have this sticker on the back of my car from the dealership, it's beginning to peel off and I just wan't to completely take it off. Any ideas on how to? I've heard a blow dryer on low heat to loosen the 'glue'.

Thats where a plastic razor and braided fishing line come in. Use the heat to get the edge to lift, then you can use fishing line to remove the sticker. Clay after.

I like to use WD-40 to remove the sticky residue that is left after the sticker is removed. I have plenty of WD-40 around but not Goo Gone.

Then just apply your favorite polish/wax.

Do you think floss would work? Or maybe it't not strong enough.

You still need to use alcohol to get the oily surface clean, so why not just use alcohol and make it a one stepper.

heat gun should work just be patient, also for the residue i like 3m adhesive remover works great
