Removing Vinyl Stickers From Your Car
If you have recently bought a second hand car, you might want to remove old vinyl stickers to replace them with your own choice of designs. Removing old vinyl stickers from your car does not have to cause a headache. With the right tools you can easily get the surface squeaky clean and ready for a new look! Here are just a few tips on how to get those old stickers off:
What You Need
Getting vinyl stickers off your car does not have to be an elaborate or expensive process. You don’t even have to go through all the trouble of taking in your car and having it removed. With only two things, both of which you will probably already have in your house, you can remove those old, unsightly stickers!
You will need to get some kind of glass cleaner or window cleaner. If you don’t have this at home, you can easily obtain it at low cost from almost any local store. Next you will need a razor blade. Make sure you handle the razor with great caution, as you don’t want to be rushed to hospital for stitches!
What To Do
Once you have a razor blade and some window cleaner, you are ready for operation ‘vinyl stickers off’! Start by spraying the old sticker with the window or glass cleaner. Give it a good spray! Let it soak for a while – the longer the better.
Start by pulling of the easy bits that you can. It might be around the edges where the sticker started to lift. For the remaining residue, take the razor and carefully, at about a 45-degree angle, start working away the remainder of the sticker.
Things To Avoid
When making use of the razor blade to remove the remainder of the sticker, you need to be very careful. You can easily scratch the car and that will leave you with a damaged surface for your next sticker.
If the vinyl sticker you want to remove is on the back window shield, you need to be extra careful. The back windows of cars often have those black lines that run horizontally across the surface. These lines are responsible for delivering heat to your car and you surely don’t want to damage this. By not taking care when using the razor blade, you can easily end up paying much more than a new sticker will cost you – whether it is medical expenses or having to fix the damage done to your car.
Removing old vinyl sticker from your car, when done with great care, can be very easy. You don’t have to go through too much trouble and you can easily do it yourself. Once your car’s surface is clean, you might want to start working on a sticker design for a new look!
