warning sticker removal
 
i have 2 questions actually

1) How should i go about removing the warning stickers on the visors

2) now that summer is here i need to buy a new beach permit...what should i use to scrape the old one off.

I know these questions are rediculous but i dont want to screw up the car

For the visor, I just used a blow dryer to soften up the warning decal and then picked/peeled it off with tweezers. Some people also use Goo Gone or Goof Off to get residual adhesive, if any.

Scrape the old beach permit off with a new razor blade. Be careful!

wd40 will dissolve residual glue left on plastics or metals with ease. It will stain fabric anf rubber.

I used rubbing alcohol with cotton balls. Just do not rub. Dab at it and let it do the work. Then pick the sticker off.

hey bud, any discoloration/side effects on the place of the sticker after removal?

Minimal, minimal evidence that the sticker was there. I sat there for 20 minutes with a damn blow dryer and it did nothing!!

It "pilled' the slightest bit. I thnk that is because I rubbed a little bit too much. That is why I mentioned to dab at it rather than rub.....

I used paint thinner with great results. Apply to small sections, let it soak in and gently scrub it off with a 3M abrasive pad. No discoloration, no evidence it was ever there. If the beach permit is on glass, use a razor blade. Good luck
