Default Best way to remove "Civic DX" sticker...



I'm not too sure of the best route I should take to remove this. I was thinking of warming it up with a heat gun and picking it off, I've eliminated the idea of scraping with a razor blade ...any ideas?

I'm not too sure if it'll leave an outline of the sticker either...

Did you just stay on it till they got soft and then pick them off?

Any outline left over?

If it really is a sticker then try 3M adhesive remover. That shiZ will kill any sticker and sticker poop left behind. I removed pinstripes with that stuff and you couldn't tell I did anything it was so clean. didn't hurt the paint, but rinsed with water to be safe. Try Home Depot for the stuff if theres one by you.

Good luck!!

heat gun works very well! try using a degreaser to remove any residue.. shouldnt leave an imprint (depending on how much sun damage on the paint)

The easiest way that I usually use (I remove lots of emblems for lots of cars) is to heat it with a heat gun (or hair dryer) and peel as much off as possible. Then use an adhesive remover such as Goo Gone on a cotton cloth to remove the rest.

I'm just not really feeling it with the emblems blacked out


I'll for sure try the heat gun and see how it goes from there

Get an Eraser wheel, sometimes called Pinstripe Removal Wheel, Goes on a rotary tool but can be used in a drill, Cleans all stickers and adhesives without hurting paint, I tried heat and removers before I I found about these wheels, 8-11 bucks at any auto body place, So quick and easy and last a while too, I use them everyday at work, It will even take off side moulding adhesives, Give it a try!

This guy knows whats up.

I never needed a heat gun, and I've tried goo gone and it's ok, but the 3m remover cleans so good without even trying. And your paint is safe.

Yalls shoud try it.
