Default removing stickers?

Hi Guys,

I picked up a mint condition painted body second hand,

the problem is that there is stickers all over the outside of the car,

some of them came off easily, but there are some that are near impossible to remove,

what sort of solvent or cleaner can be used to get them off?

thanks

Default Motor Spray

Motor spray and a little elbow grease works pretty well.

I have also used a citrus-based solvent called "goo-gone" that works pretty well. I made a few very light slices in the offending sticker with an x-acto, soaked a piece of paper towel with it, and layed it across the sticker for a minute or two.

Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Zippo lighter fluid will loosen up the old stickers and remove the remaining glue.
