is the inability to control what others do with their cars! Luckily, you’ve come to the right place.
To remove the decal, these are your best bets:
Soapy Water: Start by removing as much as you can by hand. Then for the remainder, use a bucket of warm soapy water (either dish or liquid works) and soak the remaining adhesive. After the glue is completely soaked, let it sit for a moment, then use either a plastic scraper or your hand to finish removing any residue.
Window cleaning detergent: Spray the window cleaner on the sticker and leave it for a few minutes. It should go soft, allowing you to use a plastic scraper to remove it.
Rubbing alcohol: Take a dry paper towel and put rubbing alcohol on it. Use it to soak the sticker. The alcohol should soften and wrinkle the sticker. From there, a plastic scraper should work.
Baking soda: Add some baking soda to half a cup of everyday cooking oil. Mix the solution and dab it on the sticker, giving it some time to soak. You should be able to remove the sticker with a plastic card or scraper.
