McKinney Auto Glass Sticker Tips

Using auto glass decals is a good way of personalizing your vehicle. It makes your car both easier to spot and more attractive if you apply the right kinds of decals in the right places. However, it would be best to be completely certain of the kind of decal you want to use before applying it on your car—because it comes with a very stubborn adhesive that cannot be removed just like that. In other words, applying a decal is almost like applying a permanent sticker.

Fortunately, despite the fact that it is difficult to remove such decals from your car in the Dallas area, there are more ways than one to doing so—and all of them are simple enough that it can be done by just about anybody. This article provides some tips and ways of removing McKinney auto glass or windshield decals completely and without damage, as long as you are careful. So if you are interested in finding out the different ways of doing so, then continue reading to the steps below:

• The first trick requires a razor-blade, denatured alcohol, soft and clean cloth, and some water. This step is simple enough, but you need to be careful in handling the razor. First, remove what you can from the auto glass decal with your razor-blade. Afterward, pour some denatured alcohol on some cloth, and gently rub what is left of the decal with it. Use your razor-blade once more to take care of the rest of the decal, and finally, wash the cloth with clean water and rinse the glass.
• The second trick replaces the alcohol with WD-40. This step is practically the same as the first except that you spray the area with WD-40 in order to soften the areas of the decal you failed to scrape. Once you are finished removing the decal, then rinse it clean with the cloth and water. If done correctly, it should look good as new.
• The third trick only needs a small bucket of soapy water, a cloth or a sponge, and your razor-blade. Simply wash the decal with your soapy water, and wait a couple of minutes for the adhesive to soften. Afterward, you can use your razor-blade to properly remove the auto glass decal without too much resistance.
• The last trick adds some peanut butter and a hairdryer to the mix. Once you have done what you can to scrape off the auto glass decal, spread some peanut butter on the remainder of the decal. Afterwards, use your hairdryer on it so that the adhesive absorbs the peanut butter. Once the decal looks soft enough, use your razor-blade once more—it should come off with no resistance.
