  • Removing stickers/vehicle sign writing

    Hi all - just a quickie.......coming up to renew my driving instructor car and I need to remove my vehicle sign writing. Anyone have any advice on this, especially the quickest, cleanest and safest way without damaging the paint work.

    Also - will there be any residue left on after they've been removed.....

    Cheers folks - paul:ds3:

    Maybe a hair drier to warm them up then should peel fairly easily i would have thought

      I used a heat gun.. Residue can be cleaned with a petrol rag..

              Hmmmm good idea - hair dryer - not got a heat gun. Did the petrol rag work? I've got some tar remover - spent Saturday removing all that crud off it from the warm summer tarmac days we've been having....cheers folks

                              If there is any shadowing left from the sign writing Paul then may I suggest using a clay mitt to remove all traces and get the paintwork back to normal.
