    Bought a car

    Hey everyone.

    Yesterday I got a good deal on a Toyota Hiace, so I bought it. The plan is to remove all the stickers, and clean it up, then sell. I will earn about 3000$ on it. Not to bad.

    Any tip on how to remove the stickers? I am thinkin a blow dryer..

    Here are some pics I took yesterday:

    You can use a blow dryer and dental floss or fishing line, dental floss is better. WD40 or Goof Off will remove any glue residue. Then you start your detail and run to the bank!

    When my parents baught my truck it had some cheesy sport stickers on the back. I used a blow dryer to pull up the edge, after that they came up easy.

    Try a plastic razor blade, and for glue residue use the surf city grime destroyer

    To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

    First of all congrats on the investment

    Now I've never had to remove sikers or anything like that so I too am interested as to what other members will say here.
