What is the best way to get bumper stickers off vehicles? Is there a trick anyone knows, or is it still just a matter of picking them of flake by flake?
Thanks!

Goof Off goo remover will get the stickers off. This stuff is truly amazing. I had a big sticker on the side of my bq grill that was baked on and partially peeled off. (The partially torn sticker was there for 4 years)I poured on some goof off and the sticker came right off. They sell it most hardware stores. It really works.

Goof Off works really good but it has to be able to get at the glue in the first place. This is especially important if it is a vinyl sticker.

On our race cars, we use a hair drier to heat and slowly peel the sticker off first. Heat as you peel. Then use a product like Goof Off to remove the remaining glue.

On vertical areas, soak a small section on paper towel and lay on the glue area. This will keep the Goof Off in contact with the glue. After a few minutes, wipe the area and repeat if necessary.

Test it an inconspicuous place fist to be sure it won't attack the paint.

After removal, wash with soap and wax as soon as possible.

I've used both methods that WoW suggests, and both worked every time. Of course, the best thing to do is not put one on in the first place. However, when you go to some vacation spots, you may get one anyway, courtesy the management. My father's solution was to smear Vaseline on the bumpers when he first got out of the car at any vacation spot. It took about a minute to do both the front and back bumper, which is a lot less time than it would have taken to remove the stickers any other way.

Thanks for the tips, everyone!
I actually put them all on there on purpose. But now we're selling the dumb thing, so off they must come! Oh well.

The individual who puts a bumper sticker on my rig without my permission had better be prepared to remove it...I think I might actually file a vandalism complaint over that BS.

The Goof Off and CitriSolv both work really well, but if you find you are sensitive to them, those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers will remove those last traces of adhesive.
