I have just bought a used truck from a friend of mine. It is not the prettiest thing because I must remove truck stickers that he went bonkers over. I would prefer my vehicle not having any of those advertisements on it. So, I plan to take care of them this weekend. I do not think it will be too difficult.

One thing that is very important to have, is a gun which produces heat or a hair drier. A little bit at a time, I will heat sections of the stickers for about half a minute to one minute. As quick as I can, I will take off as much of the sticker as possible. I have to remember to stay calm and eventually I will have it all gone. I must be careful not to heat the sections for too long. This might take off the vehicle’s paint.

It has been recommended you use either a hair drier or a heat gun. I suggest if you do this at all, you do not keep the heat on for an extended period of time. Heat a small area for about thirty seconds to a minute then, immediately try to remove what you can. If you heat this for more than the time allotted you may peel off the paint from your vehicle.

Fingernails come in real handy for this type of labor. If you do not have any you may want to employ the use of someone you know who has fingernails. Using the fingernail, try to peel off as much of the sticker as you possibly can. You must stay patient! This is tedious but, it can give you what you are looking for if you will simply take your time!

I also figured out that you need to peel up these stickers at about a ninety degree slant. They just seem to want to be pulled off a certain way. It is almost as if they have a mind of their own. They are stuck and they want to stay that way. Well, I proved that I am more stubborn than they are.

I can either take alcohol or vinegar (one part) and combine it with one part water and put it in a bottle that has a sprayer. Then I take this fluid and put it on the gooey parts which are left once I have taken off the stickers. Taking a finger, I stroked the remains until they came off.

Now take a mixture of one part alcohol to one part water and put this into a spray bottle. Spray this liquid on the glue residue which is left on the body of your truck. Let this soak in for about two minutes. Now take your finger and rub. This should release the residue. Spray again with the solution. Rub with your finger again. Keep doing this until all (or most) of the excess is gone.

The next step is to get a little bit of warm water in a bucket and some gentle soap and wash the area with a soft cloth. If you feel there is more glue, then spray the alcohol and water on it again. I did not claim this to be a simple process. I just claimed the supplies were simple. Get some car wax and buff out the segments. This should work great for you.
