How you can remove a bumper sticker without damaging your car
If you have decided that you are tired of an old bumper sticker for whatever reason, you can always remove it. However, you will need to do so carefully without just trying to peel or scrape it off because you could end up damaging the paint on your bumper and/or scratching it. Thankfully, you have a few great options for getting a bumper sticker off of your car.
The first way that you can get a bumper sticker off of your car is to use a hair dryer and when it is on hold it a few inches from the bumper sticker and wave it across the sticker. Once you do that for a minute or two, you can start to peel the sticker. When you are peeling it, do so across the sticker instead of up. Once the sticker is off, use some automotive adhesive cleaner to clean the area that the sticker was on.
Another option you have for removing a bumper sticker will be to peel a small corner of the sticker. Then, take some WD-40 and spray it under the corner and peel a bit more. Repeat this process until the sticker is completely removed. After you have finished removing the bumper sticker, clean the area where the sticker was attached to your car using some automotive adhesive cleaner.
Getting your paint repaired if you have already damaged it
If you already damaged your paint when you were trying to remove a sticker from your car, do not worry, you will have a couple of options. The first is to buy some touch-up paint and carefully paint over the damaged area yourself. You must make sure you get the exact right paint, however. You can do so by going online and searching for the make, model, year and color of your car followed by the phrase “touch up paint”. You also have the option of taking your car to an auto paint repair place. This option will be the easiest, but it will also be the most expensive.
Final word
Sometimes bumper stickers end up not representing you very well after a certain period of time. Maybe you just got tired of having any kinds of stickers on your vehicle.

You just need to make sure you do it right and take the right amount of caution, otherwise, you could end up damaging your bumper’s paint which you will then need to get fixed.
