    A hair dryer and a little time..Then after you get off the sticker, you use the Oops (at walmart) to get the residue out with a rag.

    I have a billion stickers on all of my cars and I'm sad to tell you......there is no easy way to get stickers off. I use the orange sticker remover in the aerosol can, but I still have to rub and rub to get the stickies off after you peel the sticker itself off. The hair dryer is an ok idea depending on what kind of sticker it is and the grade of the vinyl used.

    We use something at work, looks like an eraser, it is an air tool, basically erases it off, works perfect, but dont know the name, where to get one, or if you have air....

    yeah the one i suggested come is a spray can it ha perfect directions on the back..and you do need to let it soak in for easy removal like it says...aslo you could try using a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the sticky shit to break it apart then use the thing i suggested to remove what satys on the car

    I bought a bottle and it removes the stickie residue that stickers leave behind. This is alot better than WD-40 and goo gone.

    An easy home solution that I use is this...

    - Peel off the sticker, leaving only the gooey stickey crap.
    - Take some fingernail polish remover and cotton balls. Make sure that the cotton balls are 100% pure cotton, otherwise some other crap can scratch the paint.
    - Soak a cotton ball in fingernail polish and rub in circles over the gooey stickey crap. (Repeat with new cotton balls periodically)
    - After a few mins, it will start to come apart and you can wipe it off with a wet rag.
