There are some drivers that would rather lose a body part than apply a bumper sticker to the paint of their vehicle and there are other drivers that enjoy expressing themselves through the many novelty stickers and decals available on the market. However, if you have fallen out of love with a sticker still pasted on your Emmaus area Toyota, there are simple ways to help remove them without damaging your finish.

 

Here are the simple steps to remove those outdated political stickers and silly sayings:

 

Gently wet the sticker with hot water to soak the paper.

 

Use a hair dryer on a hot setting to blow hot air onto the outside edges of the sticker.

 

Use a credit card to get under the edges of the sticker, working it lose as you go. You may need to rewet the paper and apply additional heat as you go along.

 

If the sticker is on the window of your vehicle, a sharp razor blade used at an angle will work effectively. DO NOT use a razor blade on the painted areas of your vehicle.

 

Invest in a vehicle-safe sap remover/cleaner to remove the residual mess from the bumper sticker.

 

Re-wash the area with a car detergent and soft, lint-free cloth then wipe dry.

 

If you have damage from the sticker or overall your finish looks less than perfect, contact our Toyota service center near Emmaus for an appointment with our body shop experts. There are several services to consider if you’d like to restore the condition of your favorite Toyota.
