Can you tell me how to get a sticker off my mirror?

I just picked up my new car from the dealership, and there’s a sticker on my rearview mirror. I don’t want to damage my new car. How can I get the sticker off my mirror?

To get a sticker off a mirror, we’d first recommend you go in with a washcloth or sponge soaked in hot, soapy water (dish soap will usually do the trick). Simply run your washcloth or sponge under hot water, and add a drop or two of dish soap until you can squeeze out some suds. The mixture should loosen up the adhesive, and after that, you can safely scrape off the excess goo with a straight razor or putty knife.
Or, if you want to try a different method, grab a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will help dissolve the adhesive, allowing you to go in and scrape off the rest of the sticker.
No matter which method you use, go in with some glass cleaning solution and a microfiber towel when you’re done to make sure you don’t leave any messy streaks behind.
Hopefully, this helps you clean up your new car! To help keep your car protected inside and out, download
