Default Sticker Removal

Evening All,

Am BACK from my travels (for a couple of weeks anyway!) & its time to give the car a damn good clean.

Also its come to the time to remove the Ger-MINI stickers from the roof and the Markskaaa/Tommo stickers from the inside of the windows.
Can any of you recommend a good, damage-free (and hassle-free) way of getting these off of the car??

Use a hair dryer to warm them up and then just peel them off.

Also for the stickers on the glass if they cause a problem, pick up some clear lamp oil. A little on a cloth will remove all the sticky residue, then normal glass cleaner will remove the oil. I wouldn't recommend using it on paintwork though, have never tried it, but you never know.

It's very good at removing any sticker from a hard surface

Try hot water over the roof stickers, warm from the tap. Worked well for me removing bonnet stripes.
