Putting car graphics on your car is a great way to customize your car. However, it does not matter how high the quality of the vinyl stickers you used, it will wear off after years of use and you eventually have to take it off. Other times, you might just want to replace a new car decal or sticker, which means will have to remove the old ones.
Removing car graphics sounds like an easy task, but it actually isn’t. The adhesives on the vinyl stickers stick on strongly that you can’t just simply peel it off. Some concerns are raised when using razors or knife directly to remove the sticker that it might scratch your car or damage your paint.
To effectively remove the car graphics off of your car, you can actually use a plastic razor, putty knife or a scraper. Just make sure to moisten first the decal or sticker with water before you start peeling it off and scrape it. If the sticker still does not come off, use vinegar to moisten it instead. A hair dryer can also be used to remove car graphics. Place the hair dryer a few inches from the decal and heat it. While the decal is being heated, you can start peeling off the decal. To remove any adhesive that is left after peeling of the car decals, you can use tar or a glue remover. After successfully removing the decal, you can wash the area with any detergent. Once the washed area is dry, you can put on your car polish for a smooth finish.
These are a few methods you can follow to remove your car stickers using tools that can easily be found in your house. Now you can go back to your car’s clean look or replace it with a more contemporary design of car decals or freshen it up with new designs and new custom car graphics.
Car graphics were not manufactured to stick on your car for a lifetime. Some designs also lose its luster after years of use. With these simple steps, you can easily remove and replace your car graphics and give your car a new look.
