I have used a hair dryer to remove dealer stickers from cars I have bought. But they were not on that long, never tried to remove anything that had been on for awhile.

I use electronic freeze spray from Radio Shack to remove stickers and decals. They sometimes call it component cooler. It freezes stuff down to -60 F. I've used it to remove decals from delicate wood surfaces with great success. Just spray it on and wait until the decal gets a 'frost.' Sometimes, the decal will just fall off. Other times you will need to grab an edge and get it started. Afterward, clean up any remaining residue with 'Goo Gone.' (sold at Home Depot, Meijers, etc)

Auto detailing shops use a soft rubber wheel that fits on an electric drill to take off decals, stickers and stubborn pinstripe. I bought one at my local Carquest auto parts store for $11 and it worked great at taking a sticker and a huge decal off my truck door and it doesn't hurt the paint finish.

Gene, my brothers recently had new decals put on their RVs and mentioned that rubber wheel; said it looked like an eraser and worked great. That was the first time I'd heard of that tool.

Bird,
The one that I bought does look like a tan eraser material. I had used a heat gun before to take decals off of tractors that I've restored, but the farm truck that I bought had a real stubborn decals that I couldn't seem to get off with heat. Then a friend told me about the rubber wheels. I was very skeptical. Once I tried it: it worked so well I took the dealer stickers off my other vehicles.

lokk for a product called sticker on and sticker off,one is used to put stickers on,it gives you a little time to make sure that your sticker is on straight,the other takes unwanted stickers off.
