ARGH! - Bloody stickers

Toby · 23-07-2009, 08:37

As I've been dreading removing the damn things, I still have my car parking stickers on the windscreen from Silverstone last month.

As I feared, they're proving a nightmare to remove. They're horrible thin paper things with uber-glue on them and are scored to make them fall apart when you try to peel them off, obviously as a theft deterrent.

Anyone got any ideas on how to remove these infernal things, short of brillo pads!?

Grrrrr

Use some solvent (Isopropyl Alcohol, nail varnish remover and the like) which would dissolve the adhesive.

WD40 works for this!
