Removing Stick On Stripes

[97JF]

I may be going to look at this car but the only thing that puts me off is these horrible stripes, if I removed them do you think it would leave a mark? Also any tips for removing them? Thanks

I had stickers on mine.And I used a heat gun to take mine off. but you have to be very careful when doing so.I all so used some goof off to take the glue off. IF you use a heat gun be careful not hold it to close to the car There might be a right on this forum

Hopefully they hadn't been on there too long on you'll still have stripes when you take them off. lol

What kind of exhaust is that? And just out of curiosity, what country are you in? And yeah... I typically like stripes, but that's a bit much. Kind of cartoony.

Thanks for the replies, i'm in London, England, not sure on the exhausts, i'll try and find out how long the stripes have been on there, i've got stripes on my Mach One but I don't like them on SN95's

i just let the car sit in the heat of the sun so the adhesion of the sticker is weak.... Then i start pulling off slowly. Heat gun will do the same but since i live in the desert the sun is much easier lol.

To remove the residue left by the sticker, I use 3M Adhesive remover or "Goof-off".

It will only leave a mark if the paint that is not covered by the sticker is faded. If it were me, i would have the whole car polished after removing the stickers so the paint looks the same.

Once its off, make sure to apply a wax to protect the paint!!!

Heat gun and a plastic razor will do the trick... Claybar will remove any shit left behind but can be a PITA... Goof-off will work too...

+1 on what Greg said... wax afterward
