Whats the best way to remove old ass bumper stickers from a bumper. What chemicals/techniques work the best? I have a couple of parking decals from the previous owner on my back bumper and don't know a good way, other then a razor to remove them. They are really on there good and they are dried up. Thanks.
I remove decals and bumper stickers with a hair dryer (or heat gun) and adhesive remover that can be found in the detailing section of auto part stores or Wal-Mart.

A hairdryer eh? Thats sounds like something to try. Thanks for the tip NOFX.
No problem. I detail cars as a hobby and for cash on the side. I've used this method to remove bumper stickers, decals (like the one's dealerships put on your car), and factory badging (the "Civic" and "EX", "LX", "HX", etc. on your car).

Woah. The H is actually mounted on with bolts right? I dont think a hairdryer is going to fix that.

Try using goo gone after pulling off the sticker.

Your not retarded bro, most of the older cars don't have the H bolted on the holes are for alignment pins on the emblem. My 93's emblem was barely hanging on for dear life when I first bought my car and it was applied with what looked like double sided tape.

I hate living in Delaware. It's so boring here. Most people in Delaware could care less about their cars. I just detailed my mom's car this summer and already it looks like she blew up a box of bread crumbs in it. That car should smell like leather still. It's only a 2001. If it were mine it would be spotless, but I cant' stand a dirty car. Then again, I would never buy a PT Cruiser, much less a brand new one with the worthless "Limited Edition" Package. At least now she wants to pay it off so she can get a 350Z. Those things are so fun to drive even though I can barely see out the rear. Oh, there's hidden compartments everywhere inside 350Zs too.

You would not have a problem getting a job down here in Miami also. Car wash and detail places are a dime a dozen.
