How to Remove Sticker Glue from Car Body
Materials You’ll Need
- Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
- WD-40 or Goo Gone
- Microfiber cloths
- Plastic scraper or credit card
Instructions
1. Apply Rubbing Alcohol
Dip a microfiber cloth in rubbing alcohol and gently rub it over the sticker glue. Allow the alcohol to sit for a few minutes to dissolve the adhesive.
2. Use WD-40 or Goo Gone
If rubbing alcohol doesn’t work, try using WD-40 or Goo Gone. Spray the product onto the glue and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a microfiber cloth to wipe away the glue.
3. Scrape Away the Glue
Once the glue has been softened by the alcohol or WD-40/Goo Gone, use a plastic scraper or credit card to gently scrape away the remaining residue. Be careful not to scratch the paint.
4. Clean the Surface
Once all the sticker glue has been removed, clean the surface with a clean microfiber cloth and soapy water. This will remove any remaining residue and ensure that the surface is clean and shiny.
Tips
- Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire surface.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint.
- If the sticker glue is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the above steps several times.
- If you’re still having trouble removing the sticker glue, you can consult a professional detailer.
