Destination Nissan- How to Get Bumper Stickers Off a Car

Oct 2, 2017

It’s one of those decisions you regret, like that spur-of-the-moment tattoo or the piercing you got on a dare. Maybe you threw a bumper sticker on your vehicle because you were obsessed with that band at the time, or maybe a friend slapped it on as a joke. Whatever the reason, you want them off, but you also don’t want to damage your vehicle’s bumper. Here’s how you can remove bumper stickers without causing damage.

Scrub-a-Dub-Dub

Before doing anything, you need to clean the area around the bumper sticker or decal. Dry thoroughly before proceeding.

Warm Things Up

The warmer the bumper sticker, the easier it will be to take off, which makes summer the perfect time to remove them. For some help, run a blow dryer over the sticker to heat it up even more.

Do You Even Lift?

Once the sticker or decal is warmed up, lift the edge of the sticker using a credit card or a plastic spatula. Use something that won’t scratch the paint.

Do the Deed

Finally, grab the lifted edge of the sticker and gently pull it away from the bumper. Use a single smooth motion to avoid tearing it. Enjoy the satisfaction of seeing that bumper paint again.
