How do I remove a bumper sticker from my car?
I’m inheriting my parents’ car and they still have the old “My Kid Is an Honor Student” bumper stickers. Needless to say, I’d like to remove them. How do I remove a bumper sticker from my car?

Hey, honor student! To remove bumper stickers, you’ll need to apply heat and then scrape with a plastic implement.
You will need a hairdryer, an extension cord, a plastic putty knife or old credit card, and a car-safe adhesive remover.
Here’s how to remove bumper stickers:
- Gently wash the area around the decal with warm, soapy water.
- Apply heat to the decal with the hair-dryer on medium heat (you may wish to work in sections).
- Starting with one corner, carefully work a plastic tool beneath the surface.
- Continue heating and scraping until the bumper sticker is gone.
Once you’ve removed the bumper sticker, you might still have some old glue on the car. Apply a car-safe adhesive remover that will not damage the paint job. Follow the instructions on the package then wipe the area clean.
That’s it!
If you’re taking official ownership of the car, make sure your
car insurance
policy is properly assigned. You should be the main policyholder if you’re the main driver. Reach out to
