9 Top-Rated Products to Use When Removing Bumper Stickers

This spray from Goo Gone is made for your bumper sticker dilemma. Just spritz some on the sticker, wait a bit, and start scraping. It might take a few tries, but this stuff removes both the paper and the stickum on the back.

If you have some extra WD-40 lying around, it’s an option to use, too. Gently pry up one corner of the sticker with your fingernail, spray some of this magical spray, let it seep under the sticker for a few minutes, and then remove.

For a more environmentally safe choice, try white vinegar: Soak a cloth in the stuff and rub over the sticker. The vinegar will work to break it up and make it easier to remove. 

You need something to scrape off the sticker without damaging the paint, which is where this knife set comes in. The three-piece set features different-size blades for any size sticker. Just be gentle on the paint!

If you don’t have access to fancy plastic scrapers, a rubber spatula can work, too. After you soak the sticker with your product of choice, gently work around the corners to slowly lift and remove.

Heat is also a viable option for removing stickers. Using low heat so you don’t damage the paint, gently warm up the sticker and its adhesive to make it easier to scrape off. 

If you want to flex your tool-savvy muscles, pick up this heat gun kit from DeWalt. Along with the gun, you get a wide array of attachments. These flat-nose pieces are extremely helpful for heating the underside of pesky stickers. 

If you’ve done all the scraping and peeling possible and are still left with a sticky residue, try some rubbing alcohol to dissolve the stickum. Dab some with a cloth and rub away.

Speaking of cloths, grab some of these microfibers to help remove that leftover adhesive. The pack comes with eight, so you’ll have some extras for whatever else you need.
