Sticker removal is a bit different. Not really the removal part, but that part after that. There is a good chance that you will end up with a ghost effect afterwards. I have yet to find a way to get rid of it. I think it s UV fading of the base coat everywhere around the decal. Kind of like a putting on a band aid and going sun tanning.

Wolfpacker: Very interesting information about keeping the two layers together.

Yeah I will have defrost lines that's the reason for the trash bag drama....

I'm thinking the heat idea really makes sense.. I can shine my halogens directly on them and warm it up real quick... A het gun sounds like the 1st thing I will try!!!

I did mine with the trash bag technique on a day that was about 100 degrees and left it for about an hour, sprayed more Purple power, reapplied the trash bag and waited another hour, and still had trouble.

just make sure you leave yourself alot of time. I have done two cars and you get frustrated quick so leave alot of time for this.

careful with a heat gun..they throw off some serious heat....enough to strip paint...that's why I recommended a hair dryer on hot..much safer....


I have seen damage to cars were people used a heat gun and dwelled just a bit to long on a area...blisters....a hair dryer works well....and safer..

the steamer should work fine...just pull it off slowly....

also...some rear defroster elements are between the glass and some are not....check and see.....
