    Figure A

    Tired of that bumper sticker on the rear bumper of your car or truck? Automotive expert Trisha Hessinger tells you the best way to remove a sticker without damaging your paint or chrome.

    • Begin by softening the sticker's adhesive using a hair-dryer.

    • After the adhesive has begun to soften, spray a light spray-lubricant over the surface of the sticker. After the lubricant has soaked in for a few minutes, you should be able to begin peeling back the sticker (figure A). Peel slowly and carefully.

    • If you have to do any scraping to remove adhesive or sticker residue, use a plastic spatula or similar tool. Avoid using any sort of metal scraper or blade as this could scratch damage the paint or the bumper.

    • If any adhesive remains after the sticker has been removed, follow up by wiping the area well with ordinary rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth to help dissolve and remove the adhesive.
