Remove car stickers with heat

Car stickers and other types of lettering can be removed with heat. By heating the car stickers, the glue softens and it is easy to pull the stickers from your car. Almost all car stickers respond to temperature differences.

We cannot guarantee the effectiveness of removing car stickers with a heat source. You use the tips below completely at your own risk. 

  • Remove bits of a sticker with a hair dryer
    Most people will have a hair dryer at home. Did you know that this is the ideal tool for removing stubborn stickers from your car? The heat of the hair dryer ensures the sticker comes off. The sticker comes away from the car? Now pull it off, carefully, at a straight angle. Any remaining glue on your car can be removed with a cleaner or a degreaser.

  • Remove sticker residues with a steam machine
    Do you need to remove a large sticker and sticker residues from your car? A steam machine may be the answer. A steam machine works on the same principle as the hair dryer, but on a larger scale.
