Just came into possession of an 01 Honda Civic,the car is in great shape and will probably last me several years,problem is a previous owner did an around the country tour and stuck bumper stickers all over the back of the car, any one got an easy method to remove these bumper stickers?

Thanks

3M woodgrain and stripe remover, followed by 3M woodgrain and stripe adhesive remover. Specifically designed for this type of situation.

goo gone seems to work. Test it on the paint first though.

How about a using a heat gun to loosen the glue and peel off most of the sticker then use goo gone for the left over residue.

use regular goo gone not the "extreme" type and do test it on your paint first.

For the Least Grief and Energy, Jambo . . .

Consider a Professional Detailer to have the entire vehicle detailed and prepared for the Winter.

A great investment anytime plus the Bumper Stickers will be ALL GONE.

Most of those suggestions are fine for one or two bumper stickers, But if it's a handful, you're gonna be there all day with a hairdryer and goo gone.

Instead of Goo Gone, you can use WD 40 which is easier on the paint/coating
Hair dryer/heatgun then use WD 40 to take out the residue.

As i live in a very urban environment theres no way to plug in a hairdryer as the car is parked in the street and quite a ways from my apartment. i'll go to the local auto parts store and ask them about goo gone and the 3m products. theres about a dozen stickers that need to be removed.
Thanks
